Video from the scene shows first responders using the jaws of life to free the driver from the wreckage. The parked vehicles involved in the crash sustained heavy damage.
The driver of the vehicle, who was its sole occupant, was transported to a nearby hospital with a “significant” leg injury, authorities said. Their identity was not immediately released.
The motorist was found to be under the influence at the time of the crash; they are being by way of complaint, meaning they will receive a notice to turn themselves in upon being discharged from the hospital, law enforcement officials stated.
