Police said the driver had fallen asleep at the wheel and that they believed that impairment from alcohol and drugs was not a factor. He was released with a citation.
"This incident serves as a critical reminder of the dangers associated with drowsy driving. Drowsy driving is a serious and often underestimated hazard. It can slow reaction times, impair decision-making, and significantly increase the risk of accidents," police said in a statement.
