A 19-year-old male driver was arrested for suspected DUI after a crash on Friars Rd early Friday morning. The driver, who had been drinking and partying the previous night, lost control of his truck while driving westbound with his male passenger asleep in the back seat.
The vehicle veered off the road and collided with the construction fencing on the right shoulder of a large residential construction site. The truck continued to strike the fencing for over 100 yards before coming to a stop.
Emergency responders transported the driver to a local hospital for his injuries, while the male passenger was not injured in the crash. The driver was arrested at the scene and is facing charges related to DUI.
