What initially seemed like a quiet night in Michigan quickly turned chaotic when a Dodge Charger became airborne, landing vertically on a street sign reading “No parking.” The driver, a 24-year-old woman, was subsequently arrested for DUI.
Emergency services responding to the scene found the Charger lodged vertically against the road sign, with no injuries reported. While the car sustained damage to the front fender and rear end, its condition appeared repairable.
Investigations suggest the Charger may have struck a cable attached to an electricity pole, propelling it into the air. The driver’s blood alcohol content was recorded at more than double the legal limit, highlighting the dangers of driving under the influence.
The incident serves as a reminder of the risks associated with drinking and driving, emphasized by the Ann Arbor Police Department on social media. Additionally, Dodge Chargers, along with other high-performance vehicles, face increased scrutiny at automotive events, reflecting efforts to promote safety and prevent accidents.
