When they arrived, they found this vehicle demolished after the driver had driven off the roadway, overcorrected, and then rolled his vehicle into the ditch.

The BCSO says the driver was intoxicated, but fortunately, he and his passenger only suffered minor injuries. Besides the DUI, the driver was also charged with driving while license suspended in the second-degree and an ignition interlock violation.
