WATCH: CHP airplane captures BMW crash and burn in Solono County; driver arrested for DUI
From the CHP - Golden Gate Division Air Operations page on Facebook: **DUI Collision-Designate a Sober Driver** This afternoon, CHP Airplane 37 (Air-37) was over I-80 at American Canyon Road when our flight officer observed a BMW approaching at a high rate of speed on southbound McGary Road. Suddenly, without warning, the BMW overturned several times causing the vehicle to eventually become fully engulfed in flames. Fortunately both occupants were able to exit the vehicle and walk away from this collision. Both occupants were miraculously NOT injured. The driver was however arrested for driving under the influence (DUI). This Halloween weekend, the California Highway Patrol would like to take this opportunity to remind everyone to designate a sober driver. Both occupants of this vehicle are lucky to be alive tonight. CHP - Solano will be investigating.
