Escalade plows into building

NEWPORT BEACH – A man was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence after crashing his 2009 Cadillac Escalade into a planter, signs, a bus stop bench and a building off East Coast Highway around 5:30 a.m. today.

The man, who was not immediately identified, was not injured in the crash, said Sgt. Jerry Lowe of the Newport Beach Police Department.

The Escalade, which was headed north, jumped the curb, knocked over a parking sign, and smashed straight into a knee-high brick planter at Directors Financial Group, 3242 E. Coast Highway.

The driver then apparently backed off the parking sign, and continued another block north jumping the curb again, breaking another parking sign, scraping a palm tree, and continuing down a sidewalk before smashing into a bus stop bench and finally coming to a stop inside the Crystal Lotus, 3100 E. Coast Highway, in Corona del Mar.
