Portland, Oregon - A 28-year-old driver, identified as Krishna Kumar, has been cited for drunken and reckless driving after crashing a $250,000 McLaren 720S sports car into an office building on Sunday. The incident occurred at the intersection of Burnside Street and Grand Avenue in Portland.
According to the Portland Police Bureau (PPB) spokesperson, Mike Benner, Kumar was not arrested as he was hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries following the crash. However, he was cited for both DUII (Driving Under the Influence of Intoxicants) and reckless driving.
Reports state that officers responded to multiple calls about a car that had crashed into a building. Upon arrival, they discovered significant damage to both the vehicle and the office building.
It remains unclear whether Kumar is the registered owner of the McLaren or if he was insured to drive the luxury sports car. The video taken at the scene reveals that the car still had dealership plates at the time of the crash.
The PPB is currently investigating the incident to determine the exact circumstances surrounding the crash. Authorities are working to gather more information regarding the ownership and insurance of the vehicle involved.
The incident serves as a reminder of the dangers of driving under the influence and the importance of responsible and safe driving practices. Drunken and reckless driving can not only lead to property damage but also pose a serious threat to the safety of others on the road.
As Kumar recovers from his injuries, he will face legal consequences for his actions. This incident highlights the need for continued efforts to raise awareness about the dangers of impaired driving and stricter enforcement measures to prevent such incidents from occurring in the future.
