Man Arrested for Drunk Driving Crash After Toddler Injured
WEST COVINA, CA (May 11, 2016) – A La Puente man was arrested by police in West Covina late Wednesday night. He crashed his pickup truck into a fire hydrant, causing the vehicle to overturn. The man was allegedly drunk and had his 2 year old daughter in the vehicle at the time of the drunk driving crash.
West Covina Police report that the 2 year old girl suffered minor injuries when the collision took place near Fracisquito Avenue and Tonopah Avenue at around 10:24 pm Wednesday night.
