At 11:30 am today, Malibu/Lost Hills deputies responded to a call of a traffic accident involving a single vehicle that had flipped over. After arriving on scene, deputies discovered that the driver was under the influence of alcohol and that his ability to drive had been impaired greatly. The male driver had been attempting to do donuts in a dirt lot at Kanan/Agoura Road when he lost control of his vehicle and flipped over one time before landing in the upright position. The driver was transported to the hospital where he was medically cleared and released back to Sheriff's deputies to be arrested on drunk driving charges.
No other vehicles were involved in the accident.
This is a reminder to us all not to drink and drive. There is typically an increase in DUI arrests during the holidays, and the Malibu/Lost Hills Sheriff's Station urges you to be an alert driver and dial 9-1-1 immediately if you suspect a driver is impaired.
