Bryan Navarro, who hit a pedestrian in Camacuri is now released. Bryan Navarro was intoxicated and tested positive for a blood alcohol level of just under 560 ugl. He lucked out because had his blood alcohol level surpassed 560 ugl, he would have lost his license immediately and been detained.
An investigation was conducted into the accident, and it appears the pedestrian was walking on the side of the road, not directly on the road, as was initially suspected. Bryan Navarro struck the pedestrian, who died at the scene. People who had seen Bryan Navarro enjoying our beaches with his friends in the afternoon could not believe the news when the police detained him for drunk driving and causing a fatal accident.
Naturally, our editorial team contacted the police. The police confirmed that what people had seen and what 24ora reported was correct. However, the change in the penal code helped Bryan Navarro. While he was drunk, it was not enough to remain incarcerated.
This does not mean he will legally get away with the accident. There will be a date when he must appear before a judge to account for his actions. These kinds of negligent and reckless actions bring great sorrow to the entire community. It is unfortunate that this change in the penal code now seems to benefit the suspect more than the victim, as is evident in this case.
