“The red Camaro had two occupants,” he added. “The driver and front passenger are both 17-year-old females. The operator was charged with DUI. Minor injuries were reported. Both [were] transported to [the Commonwealth Healthcare Corp.], treated and later released. Their vehicle sustained extensive damage,” Manacop said.
He said prior to the incident, the “Chevy Camaro was traveling north on Beach Road when it veered off the road and skidded approximately 586 feet along the northbound shoulder and collided with three posted signs before striking the pedestrian. The vehicle ultimately came to a stop after crashing into a power pole.”
