A Port Townsend man was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence after an SUV rolled onto its side in a Silverdale parking lot Sunday evening, according to the Kitsap County Sheriff’s Office.
Deputies responded around 8 p.m. on May 31 to reports of a rollover crash in a parking lot in the 10700 block of Silverdale Way NW, according to the sheriff’s office. When deputies arrived, they found an SUV resting on its side.
The 22-year-old driver told deputies he was attempting to leave the parking lot when he accidentally continued pressing the gas pedal, causing him to lose control of the vehicle and roll it, according to the sheriff’s office.
Neither the driver nor a passenger was injured in the crash.
The driver voluntarily took a portable breath test that measured his blood alcohol concentration at more than twice the legal limit of 0.08%, according to the sheriff’s office. He was booked into the Kitsap County Jail on suspicion of DUI.
No additional information was released.
