| Firefighters inspect the accident scene where a Bentley owned by Lakers foward Jordan Hill crashed. |
Hill was not driving nor was he inside the luxury vehicle at the time of the crash.
The California Highway Patrol says the accident occurred sometime after 2 a.m. Saturday. The car reportedly jumped the curb and crashed into the front of Esprit condominiums in the 13900 block of Marquesas Way.
The driver was identified by authorities as 26-year-old Michael Lacey.
Lacey was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence.
He, along with a passenger in the vehicle, were not seriously injured.
“We heard a large bang and then a splash of water kind of like someone crashed into the pool. And then we walked outside and it looked like a water main had burst. You could smell gas,” Daniel Spielman, a witness, said.
“The driver and whoever else was in the car ran up into the building,” he said.
No one inside building was hurt.
The Bentley appeared to be a total loss, KCAL9′s Art Barron reported.
