At this stage, we believe that the environment of the scene [of the accident] plays a part, as it is a curve that is poorly lit. .. 

If there's No excuse they Will find one . 

What a Laugh.

[internationalism]

I don't see a curve and there are a lot of lights - he did hit and damaged the very street light.

The road is very wide, well maintained - cut vegetation, rain ditch

Give the bloke a break, he only just came round, and woke up after a very good evening out, and probably has got a very bad headache. ????

[Surelynot]

How could they have tested him for drugs/alcohol if he was in a coma.......surely they need his permission to take blood samples?

[internationalism]

according to reports, his blood was already checked within hours of accident, and the second check was also ordered by police. Probably standard procedure, for example to see, if some life sustaining medicines can be given without interaction with alcohol/drugs.

After time alcohol can't be detected anymore, is metabolised and removed within few h, depending how much it was over limit.

However, blood results were not revealed publicly.

Usually this info is disclosed at soonest, whether patient in coma or dead. Emergency services can see on the spot of driver was under influence by checking breath smell, dilated eye pupils
