Suspected Drunk Driver Causes 4-Car Pile-Up in Vista

A suspected drunk driver is in jail after causing a four-car pile-up in Vista Saturday night.

Sheriff's deputies responded to reports of an accident on North Santa Fe Drive just after 9 p.m. A car headed northbound apparently crashed into three other cars before crossing into the southbound lanes and slamming into a business.

There were nine people inside the three cars, but only one was transported to a nearby hospital for complaints of neck pain, Sheriff's officials said.

The damage to the business did not appear to be significant, officials said.

The driver that caused the pile-up was arrested on suspicion of felony DUI and the Vista Traffic Division is investigating.
