Tel Aviv Bus Driver Tests at 664 Micrograms per Liter After Passenger Falls

Police said a Dan bus driver in his fifties was arrested after a woman in her seventies fell during a ride on Herzog Street in Tel Aviv and was lightly injured. Officers who arrived at the scene reported smelling alcohol, and a breath test measured 664 micrograms per liter of exhaled air. The driver was questioned, released under restrictions, had his license suspended and is expected to face charges. Dan said it would dismiss him after the police process concludes.

Difference in reporting

Sources factually disagree on the alcohol-limit multiplier: N12 and Channel 14 report 2.8 times the legal limit; Ynet reports nearly 13 times the lower threshold for public-transport drivers. The remaining facts are uniform: police measured 664 micrograms per liter, arrested and questioned the driver, suspended his license, and said charges are expected after a passenger was lightly injured.
