Drunk driver crashes vehicle into building in Baltimore's Fells Point neighborhood
Police said they were patrolling in the 400 block of South Broadway when they approached a man who appeared to be under the influence of alcohol as he attempted to get into his vehicle to drive.
After entering the vehicle, the man was told multiple times to exit.
Instead, the man put the vehicle in drive and attempted to flee the scene.
The vehicle hit the curb, crossed into the southbound lane in the wrong direction, struck another curb, and then crashed into a building.
Police removed the man from the vehicle and placed him under arrest.
He was later taken to an area hospital for treatment before being discharged and taken to the Central Booking Intake Facility.
The man is currently facing multiple charges, including DWI, reckless driving, negligent driving, and attempting to elude police.
Overnight on June 3, a truck slammed into an East Baltimore building, causing it to partially collapse.
According to police, a 64-year-old man drove a pickup truck into the building at the corner of Federal Street and N. Patterson Park Avenue.
A support structure was destroyed, causing the partial collapse. A day later, the rest of the building was torn down by the city.
The owner of the building, Michael Davis, said it had been hit three times in the past five years. The first crash was caused by a drunk driver, and the second was caused by someone running a red light.

Stop Sticks Lead To Fatal Crash During Police Chase
Read the full story on The Auto Wire A simple device, Stop Sticks, didn't just end this police chase in Cottage Grove, Minnesota, it ended three lives. The Stop Sticks weren't actually directly responsible for the suspects' death in this case – that dishonor is on the shoulders of the driver who kept pushing the crossover after the tires were chase began when a sergeant noticed the crossover behaving suspiciously. Trying to pull it over, the suspect driver decided to take off instead. It wasn't long before the vehicle was going over 100 mph on city streets, which could easily have resulted in killing innocent bystanders. By their very nature, things happen quickly during high-speed police chases. While it's easy for everyone to sit around and watch the footage online in the comfort of their home, the reality is cops often have to make split-second decisions where life and death hang in the balance. In this case, police relied on their training, deploying Stop Sticks instead of doing a high-speed PIT maneuver since the latter is incredibly risky. But even playing it 'safe' doesn't mean there are any guarantees of true safety. After running over the Stop Sticks, the suspect driver just pushes the mediocre crossover harder. Coming to a bend in the road, the metal wheel rims don't react like inflated tires, numbing the handling and resulting in the vehicle leaving the road, hitting a tree, and turning into a fireball. As police show up on the crash scene, you can see the crossover hit the massive tree trunk head-on. Officers draw their sidearms while approaching the mangled vehicle, because sadly even after bad crashes some criminals will ambush cops. But there's nobody living in the vehicle to do anything. The roof is caved in, the front end is obliterated, and the occupants are pinned inside. It was a senseless end to three lives, which is why just pulling over and talking to police is always the better choice.
