Chilean Carabineros Dismisses Officer Charged with Drunk Driving Accident Injuring Pregnant Woman

Carabineros de Chile dismissed a senior non-commissioned officer, chief of the Carimallín Tenencia, after he was charged with drunk driving causing an accident in Río Bueno that injured a 37-week pregnant woman. The dismissal is an internal disciplinary action following criminal charges, reflecting institutional response to misconduct. The incident is localized and does not indicate broader systemic change.
