In the early hours of Saturday morning, Alcudia police and the Guardia Civil mounted a "surprise" alcohol control. Within ten minutes, at around 4am, they had tested nine drivers - all apparently returning from the same party and all over the limit, two of them to such a level that they will be appearing in court.
There was then a tenth driver, whose car was travelling at high speed. When he saw the police lights, he braked hard, crashed into a parked car, but drove off before crashing again - this time into a pavement when he lost control of the vehicle. He was around five times over the limit.
