A drunk driver crashed into a wall on South Bay Boulevard in Morro Bay on Wednesday night, and then fled the scene.

The driver, however, promptly returned and claimed responsibility for the collision. The uninjured driver was arrested and then walked away from the scene.

The crash left the wall with substantial damage.

The Morro Bay Police Department warns the public not to drink and drive.

“As we head into the holiday weekend, we wanted to take a moment to remind everyone to be safe out there,” according to police. “Drinking and driving is never okay. Please, if you are going out to celebrate and will be indulging in alcohol, use a sober driver. If you are unlicensed, please remember to utilize a sober, licensed driver for your transportation needs.”

Must have been someone well connected or related to walk away from an arrest.


This seems incorrectly written, or I am really misunderstanding. So first he crashes and then flees and then after he’s arrested, he gets to flee again?


“The uninjured driver was arrested and then walked away from the scene”


Arrested and allowed to walk home from the scene?… and if he was hit on his way home we the tax payer would be on the hook… part of the punishment for driving drunk is the arresting process where you are booked and held till you make bond and are sober and can get home safely…
