Man partially run over in parking lot incident in Kemijärvi

The Lapland police have reported an unusual incident that occurred in Kemijärvi. A man lying in the parking lot was partially run over by a car and was dragged for several meters before a bystander noticed the situation and stopped the vehicle. According to the police, the man, who was intoxicated, sustained minor injuries in the incident. This event took place on either Saturday or Sunday, but no specific time has been disclosed.

On Saturday night, the police stopped a car on Särmääjänkatu in Kemi to assess the driver’s fitness to drive. The driver, a man from out of town, tested negative for alcohol but a drug test revealed the use of amphetamines. Additionally, he did not possess a valid driver’s license.

In Rovaniemi on Sunday morning, police conducted breathalyzer tests on drivers, and the first driver stopped registered results that led to suspicion of driving under the influence.

Furthermore, the police reported that two cabins were broken into on Mäntynokantie in Kemin Ajokset over the past month. While the interiors of the cabins were damaged, there is no indication that any items were stolen.
