Head-on collision in Daviàn due to a sozzled drunk driver: A head-on collision occurred yesterday at about one twenty in the afternoon between a Honda, one of those used by Google Maps to take photographs of the area, and a Fiat coming from the opposite direction. While navigating a curve, the driver of the Honda veered into the other lane, striking the car driven by a seventy-seven-year-old man head-on; after the impact, the Fiat crashed into the low wall alongside the road. The driver was trapped inside, requiring firemen and paramedics to arrive immediately to extricate him, after which he was taken to the hospital in Pordenon. The driver of the Google Car, a thirty-eight-year-old man from Fontanefrede who was not working at the time, was unharmed, but when the carabinîrs performed a breathalyser test, they found he was positive with alcohol levels three times above the legal limit. The man was so drunk that he even began urinating in front of the carabinîrs. For the sozzled drunk driver, licence revoked and criminal complaint.
