Alcohol possibly a factor in crash that left Mustang on balcony of Southern California home

A vehicle driven by a 21-year-old man ended up on a residence’s balcony after a wild crash in Chino early Tuesday morning, and police believe alcohol may have been a factor in the crash.

Preliminary information indicates that the car, a Mustang, was traveling at a high rate of speed when it crashed through a fence and careened into a riverbed around 12:30 a.m.

A press release issued by the City of Chino around eight hours later confirmed that the crash occurred at 12:22 a.m. and involved a Mustang traveling southbound in the 12600 block of San Antonio Avenue.

The Mustang had struck a curb and the concrete side of the drainage canal, the city stated.

“The collision caused the vehicle to go airborne before colliding into the home,” officials said. “Upon arrival, police officers discovered the Mustang had collided into the home’s second story, coming to rest atop a patio cover.”
