Early Sunday a drunk driver lost control of a vehicle and destroyed several cars until coming to rest on a fence at the 1700 block of Abbot Kinney. The driver was severely injured during the accident, which lifted a bike rack out of the cement from the sidewalk and left it resting among the fence wreckage. Several wrecked cars were towed from the scene. The driver was transported to the hospital and will be booked for DUI after being treated for their injuries. Random pieces of different vehicles remain strewn across the crash scene. The building behind the fence was not impacted.
One other person in a vehicle was injured in the accident. The driver is a repeat DUI offender and it was indicated that from the circumstances of this accident, the suspects drivers license will be revoked.
Wow, I can’t believe this is going right were I walk my kids..
I’m calling the Pacific Division to see if they can bump up the patrols here..
Love you 311,

The cops told me that the guy would probably get off because nobody saw him driving (he fled the scene and was captured by neighbors). That building “The Mission” has surveillance cameras. Anyone know if they were checked?
These DUI drivers make me sick. Bring on random breath testing ( see Australia for examples ) . Lock em up and throw away the key.
