Alleged DUI driver plows car into SoCal construction scaffolding, causing it to come crashing down

Shocking video captured the moment an alleged DUI driver crashed their car into construction scaffolding on the side of a building in Hermosa Beach, causing the entire structure to come crashing down on top of the vehicle.

It happened on Thursday around 3:30 p.m. near the Hermosa Pier. Patrol officers said they were just finishing up a drunk in public arrest in the same general area when they were called to the crash in the 1000 block of Beach Drive.

When they arrived at the scene, they found the car buried under a large pile of scaffolding, with the driver still at the scene.

The driver was determined to be intoxicated and was placed under arrest. A breath test determined his blood alcohol level was 2 and a half times the legal limit, Hermosa Beach PD said.

Video shows several people walking near the structure before the incident, but they were far enough away by the time it happened that they were not impacted.

Hermosa Beach PD is urging everyone to drive sober, especially when many are going out in the city to watch the World Cup at local establishments.

HBPD said it has stepped up enforcement and will have extra officers specifically looking for drunk drivers throughout the World Cup.

Heat advisory issued as Southern California temps near triple digits this week

Those comfortable Fourth of July temperatures will come to an end this week as Southern California braces for more summer-like conditions and a heat advisory.

“Definitely going to be a tough week in front of us as finally we see a shift in the weather pattern,” KTLA meteorologist Henry DiCarlo said Monday. “We are going to see temperatures for the inland valleys making a run toward 100 degrees, more so tomorrow and through the rest of the week.”

The National Weather Service has issued a heat advisory from 10 a.m. Tuesday through 8 p.m. Thursday as highs in the inland valleys reach between 90 and 100 degrees. Temperatures of 104 degrees or higher will be possible over portions of the Antelope Valley.

Residents are urged to stay out of the sun, wear light-colored clothing, drink plenty of water and never leave pets inside a hot car.

“We also have some fire concerns as we’re going to get some gusty winds going,” Henry said.

Temperatures are expected to cool slightly after Thursday, according to the Weather Service.
