Three individuals were in the vehicle, the driver attempted to leave the crash scene, but were detained by a group of spectators that gathered at the scene until police arrived. The vehicle driver seemed to have been driving under the influence of alcohol, which his passengers also exhibited that they were under the influence of alcohol.
