Gill GiffordA suspected drunk driver smashed through the wall of his local traffic department in Braelyn, just outside the East London CBD, on election day.A man who allegedly got behind the wheel after drinking too much on election day and then ploughed into the perimeter wall of his local traffic department has ended up with a major headache.
Apart from a hangover, criminal charges for alleged drunk driving and damaging municipal property, the motorist, who lives in Duncan Village about 5km outside the East London CBD, also sustained a gaping head wound that he refused to have stitched. Buffalo City Metro spokesperson Samkelo Ngwenya said the motorist, who cannot be named until he has appeared in court, allegedly smashed a Toyota sedan into the wall at about 11.30am on Monday. Traffic officers were on the scene immediately but all three passengers were allegedly too inebriated to help with much information.
According to Ngwenya, the driver hit his head when the car barrelled up a slight embankment and straight through the precast wall at the Braelyn traffic department in East London.
