She's pretty cool and has certainly avoided the worst.
An 11-year-old girl, who was with her 6-year-old brother in the family vehicle driven by her drunken father, alerted the gendarmes, reports
the Republican East
.
The facts occurred on Saturday evening in Mathay in the Doubs.
The 31-year-old father who was driving his children home to their estranged mother was drunk at the wheel.
The girl, fearing for their lives, was able to give the alert and then via SMS made it possible to locate the vehicle, which was intercepted in the process.
The father of the family had a blood alcohol level of 1.96 g, specify our colleagues.
He was finally "handed over to a third party" and his license withdrawn before he was subsequently summoned to the gendarmes.
The children were brought to safety at the gendarmerie before their mother arrived.
