WATCH: Car rolls multiple times in Lincoln; 20-year-old cited with DUI
LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) – A 20-year-old man crashed a car near 27th and Randolph streets early Saturday morning, Lincoln Police say.
Police responded to the crash around 3 a.m. after the car hit a utility pole.
By the time officers arrived, they said the occupants of the car had fled. But they found a man walking nearby who fit the driver’s description.
Police said he admitted that he was driving the car and lost control.
Surveillance video from a nearby business shows the vehicle rolling multiple times and hitting the edge of the U Hose It car wash before landing in the road.
Dave Stanczyk, the owner of the car wash, said there are multiple pieces of debris on his property.
“It was pretty freaky,” he said. “Thank God he missed the building. You can see where he scraped the corner. If he wouldn’t have rolled, he probably would have hit it head-on, and the car wash would be out of business for a while.”
The man was arrested and cited with a DUI, being a minor in possession of alcohol, negligent driving and operating a motor vehicle without a license.
It is unknown whether he was injured.
There is no word on whether there were other people in the car.
Editor’s note: The article previously said the driver was a 13-year-old boy. In an update Monday, police said they had provided an incorrect age.
