A tow-truck driver called by police to remove a vehicle belonging to a drunk driver in central Athens on Sunday morning was himself found to be intoxicated, Greek police reported.
The driver, who had a contract with Greek traffic police, was summoned to tow a car from a checkpoint on Panepistimiou Street in the early hours of the morning.
However, while attempting to load the vehicle onto his tow truck, he lost control and crashed into a parked motorcycle.
Police then administered a breathalyzer test, confirming he was over the legal alcohol limit. He was charged accordingly, and his tow truck was seized and taken to a police parking facility.
