An alleged drunk driver ended up in jail after he attempted to drive down a road with wet concrete in San Luis Obispo on Wednesday evening, police said.

Shortly after 11 p.m., the driver went around the closure signs and drove onto wet concrete near the intersection of Nipomo Street and Monterey Road, an area that is currently under construction. His tires then sunk into the concrete.

San Luis Obispo police officers arrested the driver for suspected DUI.

SLO Tow completed a tricky extraction of the vehicle through a variety of elevations.

The Warranty on that Dodge is Concrete!


She’s looking at a pretty concrete charge.


Are you assuming someone’s gender, “She”? How dare you ………… cancel, cancel, cancel ….. SMO.


When newZ is out of falling over left, bat feces crazy SLO proper, I assume the opposite of what’s stated.


Maybe he wanted to be early to the next show at the Little Theater?


A fool-proof DUI check point?


Wow, that’s going to be an expensive repair. The car owner’s insurance will (in theory) have to pay prevailing wage to demo out the damaged concrete and replace it with new. That process will take months, and ultimately the City’s taxpayers will take some of it in the shorts (if not all).


Maybe the cities building inspectors will approve of the workmanship and give it an OK.
