The driver in a single-car crash early Wednesday morning is facing charges of driving while impaired, Raleigh police said.
Police said the driver was driving at a high speed when he crashed through an intersection into a wooded area off East Millbrook Road and Hargrove Road around 2:45 a.m.
The car took out a traffic control sensor and crashed through a fence, into trees. Officers said it pulled out a tree as well.
The driver and his two passengers were taken to the hospital with non life-threatening injuries.
The WRAL Breaking News Tracker was on the scene as a tow truck tried to pull the car out of the woods for about 45 minutes.
The car was badly damaged.
Officers said a corner of the intersection is used as a bus stop for kids. The damaged traffic control sensor may impact students’ ability to get to the bus stop safely.
WRAL is working to find out when the sensor will get repaired.
The driver, whose name was not relased, is also charged with careless driving and reckless driving.
Raleigh police said the crash remains under investigation.
