A Colombian man needed the aid of a tree to help stop his car on Ibiza's Avenida Espana at dawn the other day.
The man, who had less than the required amount of blood in his alcohol, had lost control of his Opel Astra on the long, straight Avenue, and had already hit a lamp-post and demolished nine steel pivots before coming to rest against the tree. Local police courteously helped him to their cells!
Meanwhile 3 naughty boys crowded onto a stolen scooter had an unfortunate meeting with a police scooter as they were driving the wrong way up a one way street. Despite the policeman's cries to stop they didn't, and hit his machine full on, whereupon they quickly ran away - in different directions!
However our gallant policeman managed to catch one of the young miscreants whom he politely escorted to his waiting cell.
