Four people were injured in a DUI-related crash early Thursday morning when Tucson police say the driver of a 2023 BMW ran a red light βat near triple-digit speedsβ and smashed into a car, ripping it in half.
All four people in the wreck survived, Tucson police said in a news release Thursday afternoon.
The crash happened about 1 a.m. when the 27-year-old driver of the BMW ran a red light on East Grant Road at North First Avenue.
The BMW was going nearly 100 mph when it smashed into a green Subaru headed north on First Avenue, the release said.
The impact sheered the Subaru in half and the BMW caught fire.
The BMW driver, who police say was impaired, a 26-year-old passenger and two women in the Subaru were taken to the hospital with injures police said in the release βwere no longer considered to be life-threatening as a result of the care received at the hospital.β
A third vehicle was damaged by the crash debris.
The unidentified driver is expected to be booked into the Pima County jail on βnumerous felony charges,β after he is released from the hospital, the release said.
