A drunk driver came close to causing a tragedy in Gozo in the early hours of Saturday morning, losing control of his car and mounting a pavement close to where people were standing.
Pedestrians celebrating carnival were standing just a few metres away. Thankfully, nobody was hurt.
The incident happened on Triq ir-Rabat, Żebbuġ at around 2am, the police confirmed.
The driver, who police said was under the influence of alcohol, is expected to be arraigned in court in the coming days.
