A Violent Crash with Significant Results
Police were called to the scene of the accident after neighbors reported hearing a loud impact outside. The vehicle struck the pole, which caused the wires to fall to the ground and the car to flip onto its side. Within seconds, there were visible flames.
Both the driver and the passenger of the car were able to climb out of the overturned vehicle. Both also ran from the scene of the accident on foot. Neighbors saw the two climb out of the car before they fled the scene. Police later identified the driver and arrested them for driving under suspicion of alcohol. The driver’s blood alcohol content was double the legal limit.
