Alleged DUI Driver Arrested After Car Goes Airborne, Crashes, Sparks Fire at Rolling Hills Estates Construction Site

A 21-year-old driver was arrested on suspicion of DUI after a Ford Mustang went airborne and crashed into an under-construction building in Rolling Hills Estates early Sunday, igniting a blaze that severely damaged the structure, authorities said.

Three people were injured in the fiery collision, which occurred around 3:25 a.m. near the intersection of Hawthorne Boulevard and Indian Peak Road.

The newer-version Mustang was headed down Hawthorne when it went airborne over a block wall, through a construction site parking lot and into a building that was under construction, according to Los Angeles County Fire Department Capt. David Avila.
