VILNIUS, Lithuania - Lithuanian police thought their breath-
alyzer device was broken after a truck driver's test
registered 18 times the legal alcohol limit. They found out
it wasn't. Police said the driver, Vidmantas Sungaila,
registered 7.27 grams per liter of alcohol when he was
pulled over for driving his truck down the center lane of a
highway. "This guy should have been lying dead, but he was
still driving. It must be an unofficial national record,"
Saulius Skvernelis, the director of the national police
traffic control service said. Sungaila told police he had
been drinking the night before and tried to "freshen up by
downing a pint of beer for breakfast."
