Driving under the influence is not only harmful to the drivers but also to the people around them.
A man crashed his Mercedes Benz car into a major fast food restaurant in Kota Damansara, Selangor. The accident happened at around 6pm yesterday (20th August) and the 60-year-old offender was drunk during the crash, reported New Straits Times.

The accident ruined the wall, tables, and chairs that were outside the restaurant. Mohd Zani said that the pedestrian, identified as Lee Guo Hoo (72 years old) , sustained injuries to his head and legs.
âAn alcohol test on the suspect showed a positive reading of excessive alcohol level, higher than the legal consumption limit,” added Mohd Zani.
âThe case is being investigated under Section 43(1) and Section 45A(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987,â he said.
It is hoped that the injured elderly man recovers safely from his injuries. We should always ensure that our friends or family do not drive after they have consumed excessive amounts of alcohol.
