One Accident, Two Arrests
To cover for a drunken friend, a man claimed he was the driver at an accident. Unfortunately, he was also drunk.
At about 1 am on Wednesday, a taxi was hit from behind by a BMW on Tuen Mun Road in Hong Kong. The car was driven by a 33 year old man surnamed Ma.
Before the police arrived, his friend surnamed Wang arrived in his Mercedes Benz. When a police officer came to investigate, Wang claimed he was the driver even though the witnesses said otherwise.
The officer warned Wang, reeking of alcohol, of the seriousness of covering up a crime. Still, Wang insisted on taking the breathalyzer test. The result indicated his blood alcohol content (BAC) was triple the legal level.
Both Wang and Ma were arrested fro a drunk driving and perverting the course of justice.
