But a few miles from reaching his destination, the 18-year-old lost control of the car and crashed into a guardrail on the other side of the road.

Police in the small town of Albi, located just north of Toulouse said on Facebook they arrived at the scene of the accident and found the teenager "unscathed."

The high school student was given a breathalyzer test for alcohol consumption -- which he passed -- before being taken to school with minutes to spare, according to police.
