SACRAMENTO, CA – Officials arrested a man for driving while drunk after he caused a head-on collision early Sunday morning, according to authorities.
California Highway Patrol spokesman Michael Panlilio said the unidentified man was driving a silver Lexus heading eastbound on Elverta Road near Levee Road around 12:30 a.m. He swerved into the westbound lanes, colliding head-on with a Honda Civic.
A green Kia travelling behind couldn’t stop in time and subsequently crashed into the Lexus, said Panlilio. That driver was okay.
The woman driving the Honda was trapped inside the car and firefighters cut open the vehicle to save her. Panlilio said she was taken to UC Davis Medical center with a broken leg.
CHP officials arrested the drunk driver of the Lexus, who now faces felony DUI charges. He was taken to Mercy San Juan hospital with major injuries but was expected to survive.
