Rhode Island driver records 0.491 on alcohol breath test
Stanley Kobierowski drove his car into a highway message board on Interstate 95 in Providence, R.I. When police responded to the scene, they saw the highest blood alcohol reading anyone in Rhode Island had ever had and survived: 0.491.
Kobierowski was taken to a hospital detoxification center, sedated, arraigned and eventually released after promising to appear at a hearing on Friday.
According to the health department, a blood alcohol level of 0.30 is classified as stupor, 0.40 as comatose and 0.50 as fatal.
