The incident took place around 10:45 PM and involved a gray Toyota Celica, which was confirmed to be non-drivable and was towed from the scene.
Emergency services responded promptly, arriving within minutes to assess the situation. The driver of the gray Toyota Celica reported having consumed alcohol prior to the collision.
