Driver in Non-Sober State Causes Major Accident

Today, December 25, a major car accident occurred in the Armavir region. Around 15:45, 23-year-old Setrak Manukyan, a resident of Gavar, driving a Mercedes with license plate 61 PX 001, veered off the road on the Yerevan-Armavir highway in the administrative area of the village of Ptghunk, colliding head-on with a Mercedes E320, license plate 36 FZ 718, driven by 30-year-old Hakob Mkrtchyan from the same village, who was heading towards Yerevan.

According to preliminary information, there were no casualties from the accident. Both drivers underwent sobriety tests at the scene, and it was determined that S. Manukyan was at the highest level of intoxication. A photojournalist reports that as a result of the collision, two of the intoxicated driver's Mercedes tires were broken. Residents of Ptghunk, led by the village mayor, were the first to provide assistance to the drivers, and if it weren't for the villagers and the mayor, some individuals might have sought retribution against the intoxicated driver.
