Three pedestrians injured in suspected DUI crash
Three people were injured after a suspected drunk driver hit a signpost that fell on them Saturday night in Santa Cruz.
The crash happened on East Cliff Drive at Assembly Avenue at around 6:30 p.m.
The Santa Cruz CHP says 65-year-old Tarmo Hannula was driving eastbound on East Cliff Drive and his car left the road.
Hannula first hit a parked car, but he then went into a signpost that fell and hit three pedestrians.
The three from Lathrop ranging in age from 14 to 49-years-old were taken to Dominican Hospital with moderate injuries.
The CHP responded to the crash and arrested Hannula for suspicion of DUI causing injury.
Hannula is listed as a staff photographer and reporter on the Register-Pajaronian news outlet.
The crash is still under investigation.
