A suspected DUI driver was hospitalized after his car briefly went airborne and flew over a fence onto a track at a Torrance high school on Saturday, Oct. 19.
It was unclear how fast the man was going around 2 p.m. as he drove southbound on Entradero Avenue, before he went through Del Amo Boulevard and struck a fence on the perimeter of West High School.
The driver went airborne and landed on a red track surrounding a soccer field, Torrance Police Lt. Charles Fisher said.
Police could not confirm whether there was any activity on the field at the time. ABC7 reported that youngsters were playing soccer when the car landed by the field mid-game.
The man is suspected of driving under the influence and may be connected to an earlier reckless driving call in Hermosa Beach, Fisher said.
A spokesperson from the Hermosa Beach Police Department could not be reached on Sunday.
