San Diego, CA (October 26, 2020) – On Friday a driver of a Range Rover was injured in a DUI crash with an Audi at the intersection of G Street and 16th Street.

According to the San Diego Police, they have a DUI checkpoint in East Village that had them arresting at least 9 drivers.

Meanwhile, a motorist on a white Audi who was entering the checkpoint at 14thStreet and G Street fled away from the scene. This is after an officer attempting to screen the motorist and opening the driver’s side door.
