In a wild scene straight out of an action movie, a drunk driver was detained this week after his car dragged roadside guardrails for over 300 meters before attempting to flee. The incident, which occurred in [City/Region], has gone viral on social media as footage shows twisted metal sparking along the roadway. 🚗💥
Authorities report the driver continued driving with guardrails still attached to his vehicle for several blocks before abandoning the car. Police apprehended the suspect shortly after the 8 January 2026 incident. "This level of reckless behavior puts everyone at risk," said local traffic safety officer Li Wei. "We're reminding drivers that enhanced DUI checks will continue through the Lunar New Year travel period."
While no injuries were reported, the crash caused significant infrastructure damage. Road repair crews worked overnight to replace the safety barriers ahead of morning rush hour. 🚧
This incident comes as traffic safety remains a key focus across Asia, with regional governments implementing stricter penalties for drunk driving in 2025. Data shows alcohol-related accidents decreased 18% last year, but officials say there's still work to be done.
