At about 3:30 a.m. on Monday morning, a Nissan Pathfinder traveling southbound in the 2500 block of Broad Street in SLO smashed into two parked trucks on the side of the road, destroying one and significantly damaging the other.
The Pathfinder then veered back into the southbound lanes and flipped several times, finally coming to rest at the entrance of a driveway several hundred feet from the initial collision.
When police arrived, the found the street strewn with glass and vehicle parts — a scene they described as “very chaotic.� What they didn’t find was the driver of the Pathfinder, 21-year-old Kevin Pino.
Fifteen minutes later, he was back. Pino, who was uninjured, told police that he had been hiding and officers subsequently arrested him on suspicion of DUI and booked him into county jail.
