The video showed the driver had trouble maneuvering through a muddy area before nearly crashing into a bulldozer.
“His Ford Escape quickly reminded him it was no Bronco and threw in the towel,” the Police Department stated on the post.
The unidentified driver exited the vehicle wearing sweatpants and a hoodie and was immediately taken into custody.
The driver, who was unlicensed and suspected of driving under the influence, “went to jail and his vehicle impounded,” police said.
No workers were injured and no equipment was damaged during the incident.
Holliday Rock is one of the largest independent producers of asphalt, aggregate and concrete in the United States with locations in San Bernardino, Riverside, Los Angeles, Kern, Orange, Ventura and San Luis Obispo counties, according to its website.
