Erratic driver endangers Caltrans workers in West Los Angeles: CHP
A driver was arrested on suspicion of DUI earlier this week after driving erratically near Caltrans workers in the West Los Angeles area, authorities said.
The incident occurred Tuesday when California Highway Patrol officers observed a vehicle cutting across a cone pattern while the Caltrans workers were outside their vehicles to work on the freeway, CHP West L.A. stated in an Instagram post on Wednesday.
“After contacting the driver and advising the reason for the stop (2818 California Vehicle Code) Officer Ramos observed the driver exhibiting objective signs and symptoms of impairment,” the CHP stated in the post.
During a search of the suspect’s vehicle, another officer located a Nitric Oxide Synthase (NOS) tank “freshly used for inhalation.”
