On Sunday night in Orange County, a motorist was detained following a collision involving a high-value luxury sports car. The incident, which saw a lavish Aston Martin DBS embroiled in a crash, summoned the Newport Beach police and firefighters to the scene at the 7700 block of East Pacific Coast Highway around 7 p.m.
Eyewitness accounts provided to the freelance media firm TNLA revealed that the Aston Martin's driver lost control on the Pacific Coast Highway, resulting in a collision with a red SUV. Subsequently, a man was escorted to a patrol car in handcuffs after failing a sobriety test conducted at the crash site.
The man, whose identity has not been disclosed, reportedly showed signs of impairment during the sobriety test and was taken into custody on suspicion of driving under the influence (DUI), as per TNLA's reports. The accident took place near the Crystal Cove Shake Shack, prompting several bystanders, including some Shake Shack customers, to rush to the scene. According to one witness, a woman sustained a head injury and was bleeding, necessitating ambulance transportation to a hospital; her condition remains undisclosed.
The Aston Martin DBS involved in the incident is a vehicle whose value exceeds $300,000, based on evaluations by Kelley Blue Book.
This incident underscores the potential severe consequences of driving under the influence, not only in terms of property damage but also regarding the risk of injury to oneself and others.
