DUI Driver Pulls Out Of Burger King, Rams Into Gas Pump: Police

TACOMA, WA — A suspected drunk driver is behind bars after a series of collisions in Tacoma Wednesday afternoon.

According to the Tacoma Police Department, the accused DUI driver had been visiting the Burger King on S. 38th Street, but as they pulled out they hit an SUV, and careened across the road south into the Chevron in front of the Brown Bear Car Wash. That's where they crashed into a second car— and a gas pump. Police say that second car had a 7-year-old child and mother inside, but fortunately both were unharmed.

The pump however, was damaged and caused a small fire which Tacoma Fire rushed to put out. Luckily crews were able to quickly shut off the pumps and smother the blaze before it could cause any serious problems.

Police have since arrested the driver for DUI. Tacoma Fire says one person has been taken to a nearby hospital, but they are in stable condition and expected to recover.
