Buena Park DUI Crash

Buena Park

12PM
Beach Blvd and Durango (Accident Scene)
Beach and Artesia (where driver and vehicle were found)

In a sequence of events straight out of an action-comedy film, a Lexus traveling southbound on Beach Blvd turned a mundane afternoon into a scene from "Fast & Furious" meets "Gone with the Wind."

At approximately 12 PM, the Lexus driver lost control at the intersection of Beach Blvd and Durango, striking another vehicle before making an unscheduled stop into a eucalyptus tree. The struck vehicle sustained only minor damages to its rear bumper, and the tree, while injured, is expected to make a full recovery. The Lexus, however, was not so fortunate. It was left with severe damage to the driver's side, a shattered windshield, and a eucalyptus tree souvenir embedded in its door.

The plot thickens: the driver and their passenger were found over a mile away from the crash site, still inside the battered Lexus. How they traveled such a distance remains a head-scratcher. Witnesses reported seeing the car in motion, but how it managed to move a mile post-crash is anyone's guess.

Adding to the intrigue, police discovered a nitrous tank and balloons inside the Lexus. This nitrous oxide, more commonly associated with high-octane street races or party antics, raises more questions about the driver’s pre-crash activities.

Unsurprisingly, the driver failed a sobriety test at the scene and was promptly taken into custody. Fortunately, no injuries were reported, despite the bizarre and potentially hazardous circumstances. Buena Park PD is currently handling the investigation, likely pondering the same questions as the rest of us: How did the Lexus travel that mile, and what exactly was the driver thinking?

Stay tuned as more details emerge from this peculiar incident that has left both eucalyptus trees and law enforcement scratching their heads.
