Driver Not Seriously Hurt After Car Crashes Into Dry Cleaning Store
The car and the building were both seriously damaged, but the driver reportedly suffered only abrasions and contusions.
A suspected drunk driver crashed into a dry cleaning business in Woodland Hills early Thursday morning, but she was not seriously injured.
The crash happened around 1 a.m. at 19913 Ventura Boulevard, about two blocks east of Winnetka Avenue, said Sgt. John Willingham of the Los Angeles Police Department's Valley Traffic Division.
The car was severely damaged, he said, noting that the impact separated the engine from the rest of the vehicle. The building also sustained significant damage, Willingham said.
The driver -- a woman, according to a news photographer at the scene -- suffered only abrasions and contusions and was arrested on suspicion of DUI, Willingham said.
