A hospitalized driver has been arrested on suspicion of DUI in a Huntington Beach car accident that injured another driver as well, according to a news report.
Huntington Beach police said that the driver of a Hyundai sedan was traveling south on Brookhurst Street near Hamilton Avenue when the car hit a center divider and a sign, then crossed into the northbound lanes. The car then went up onto a sidewalk, hit a brick wall, a power pole and a palm tree before becoming airborne and crashing into a Chrysler that was turning into a convenience store.
The Hyundai came to a stop after flipping on its roof. The unidentified driver was taken to a local hospital and arrested later on suspicion of DUI. The Chrysler driver suffered minor injuries.
