TOMSK, December 10 - RAPSI, Karina Sapunova. The Tomsk Regional Court has deprived a magistrate of her license for 1.5 years for driving drunk and causing an accident, the regional prosecutor's office reported on Monday.

The accident involved several vehicles in downtown Tomsk.

The incident took place on August 18 when an Audi and a Toyota RAV 4 crashed at a traffic light. The Toyota then collided into two other vehicles.

Irina Ananyeva, the magistrate driving the Toyota, was later found to have been drunk.

In August, a court panel ruled to prematurely terminate her official status after the prosecutor's office brought her to administrative liability.

The court found her guilty of drunk driving and deprived her of her license for 1.5 years.
