A Sunnyvale man was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence late Sunday night after he collided with a parked car in downtown Mountain View.

Police received reports of the crash around 11:15 p.m. on Sunday, April 21, and found that the 36-year-old solo driver somehow managed to drive one side of his Chrysler up onto a parked Audi near the intersection of Castro and Villa streets, leaving it tilted precariously, with only two of its tires on the ground.

Officers speaking to the suspect reportedly noticed “objective signs” that the man was under the influence of alcohol, according to police spokeswoman Katie Nelson.

The man was arrested and booked into Santa Clara County jail on suspicion of driving under the influence.

No one was injured in the collision, Nelson said.

Earlier on Sunday, police had cited another driver at the nearby intersection of West Dana Street and Shoreline Boulevard for driving under the influence, and received reports of a third DUI at Shoreline and El Camino Real, according to the crime tracking website CrimeReports.
