A suspected drunk driver ran a red light early Sunday morning in Fullerton and crashed into another vehicle, according to the Orange County Register.
Tracey Powell, 24, of Hawthorne was driving his Nissan Altima southbound on Harbor Boulevard when he ran the red light at West Bastanchury Road.
A woman driving a silver Honda Civic was making a left turn from West Bastanchury Road onto Harbour Boulevard when she was struck by Powell around 5:10 a.m., according to police Lt. Alex Basteri.
Powell’s car ended up by the nearby 76 gas station on 100 West Bastanchury Road, which left officials worried about further damage due to its close proximity to the gasoline, said Bastreri.
The woman was treated for minor injuries at the nearby St. Jude Medical Center.
The incident shut down the intersection for almost two hours.
The Fullerton Fire Department cleared the scene and the SigAlert traffic alert was lifted around 7 a.m.
