An Audi driver with three permille of alcohol was transporting four children and broke a lifetime driving ban

A dangerous incident occurred on August 26 in Kielce. The 42-year-old Audi driver caused a collision with two other vehicles on al. priest Jerzy Popiełuszko.

The police were immediately called to the scene. The officers quickly determined that the man was completely drunk - the test showed nearly 3 per mille of alcohol in his body.

Children aged 15 months to 8 years

What turned out to be shocking was who the 42-year-old was transporting. There were four children in the car, aged 15 months to 8 years. The man had a duty to take care of them.

According to the Kielce prosecutor's office, "the suspect was also charged with exposing four minor children to a direct danger of loss of life or serious bodily harm."

Lifetime ban and recidivism

This is not the first time the 42-year-old has broken the law. It turned out that he was driving despite a lifetime driving ban, which was imposed in June last year.

The prosecutor's office emphasizes that the man acted in conditions of recidivism - from October 2025 to July this year he was already serving a prison sentence for a similar crime.

The court had no doubts

At the request of investigators, the court decided to impose a three-month pre-trial arrest on the 42-year-old. The man was charged with driving under the influence of alcohol, breaking a court ban and endangering children.

He faces up to 5 years in prison.
