The suspect driver was apprehended after he was seen driving in the middle of the road, endangering the lives of pedestrians and other road users near the Airport by-pass in a Toyota Land Cruiser V8 vehicle with the registration number GB-9776-21.
The vehicle was impounded by the police, and he was arraigned before the La District Court on November 4, 2022, on charges of reckless and inconsiderate driving, driving in the middle of the road facing oncoming traffic, and endangering other road users.
