The children denounced their father -in -law’s intoxication at the steering wheel

The custody of the children, who criticized the driver’s plight at a convenience store clerk, likely made it possible to avoid a tragedy.

The 32-year-old woman is already subject to a driving ban. He stopped in the parking lot of a Jonquiérois business around 7:40 pm not in a driving condition.

The breathalyser determined that he was driving his vehicle despite having a blood alcohol level three times higher than the legal limit.

The driver was detained pending his appearance on Monday. The children were cared for by a family member.
