I NEVER THOUGHT IT COULD HAPPEN TO ME CAMPAING

In the Traffic Authority's latest campaign to convince people not to drink and drive, 110 people who have ended up in a wheelchair because of a traffic accident will be accompanying the Highway Guardia at breathalyser control points. Their message: "I never thought it could happen to me, but I had an accident and ended up in this wheelchair. Don't let it happen to you." Meanwhile, a judge in LogroƱo heard how a 58-year-old man killed two cyclists in two separate accidents 20 days apart. The man, who had a stroke a few months ago, told the judge he could remember the first accident but not the second, both of which happened on straight stretches of road. Police said he passed the breathalyser test on both occasions. The judge has not yet delivered a sentence.
