Sarajevo - A Bosnian driver was so drunk that he should have been dead when arrested with a blood-alcohol level 20 times the legal limit, said police on Thursday.
Police officer Damir Cutura said: "I was shocked with the alcohol test results. Most people would slip into a deep coma and die with a concentration of 0.4%."
After being warned by other drivers on Tuesday of a car zigzagging across lanes, police drove out and arrested Branko Milicevic near the southern town of Citluk.
Police were shocked to see test results showing the man's blood-alcohol level was 0.6%. The legal limit in Bosnia is 0.03%.
"I asked that the alcohol breath-testing device be checked, only to discover that it worked properly," said Cutura.
The driver has been released pending trial.
