The 36-year-old, of the 500 block of Ca Crest Drive now faces additional charges of reckless driving, improper lane usage and speeding 142 mph in a 40 mph zone on top of the original charges of DUI and driving too fast for conditions, Sgt. Gregg Bell said Thursday.

The man was driving an orange 2008 Dodge Charger eastbound on Ogden Avenue near Rickert Drive about 12:52 a.m. Jan. 10 when police say the car left the road and struck both a traffic standard and the curb, causing it to lift off the ground. The car then struck another curb and again lost contact with the ground before rolling over and hitting a billboard post and a fence.

The Charger ultimately came to rest in a yard in the 500 block of Chamberlain Lane, where police found the driver trapped in the car and the vehicle’s dislodged engine and a tire in a nearby parking lot, police said. Firefighters extricated the driver and transported him to Edward Hospital with minor injuries.

Upon further investigation using equipment in the car, police discovered the man had been driving 142 mph and had a blood alcohol content of 0.2, according to Bell. He called the driver’s speed “something we normally don’t see.”

“It’s amazing he survived that crash,” he said.
