Drunk Mozambican falls off moped into a hole

Croatian Times

Philimon Zandamela from Mozambique was taken to Sibenik hospital after he fell from his moped into a hole in Drnis near Sibenik yesterday (Sun) evening.

The 34-year old Zandamela had a blood-alcohol level of 2.8 promille when he lost control of the moped. He crashed on karst and fell through it into a hole.

Rescuers pulled him out of the hole and took him to hospital with severe injuries. The daily Jutarnji list reported today his life was not in danger.

Zandamela arrived in Croatia from Mozambique in 2001. He initially worked as a de-mining expert for the Israeli company Mavarin but has since become a shepherd.

Zandamela is well known for his numerous performances on TV shows. Local residents also remember he shot himself twice in 2006 and drank sulphuric acid last year.
