A 26-year-old drunk driver killed a
29-year-old woman on a pavement in Verona early Sunday morning.
A blood test showed he had over three times the legal limit of
alcohol in his system.
The woman, who was walking with a male friend on the sidewalk
near Porta Vescovo in the Veneto city, was hit full-on and died
instantly, police said.
The man fled the scene without offering assistance but was later
caught by police near a discotheque.
The incident happened around 05:30.
An autopsy has been ordered.
