A suspected DUI driver ran face-first into a building in Monroe while trying to get away from police officers.

The Monroe Police Department said a 911 call helped them find the driver on November 30.

“A black Chevy Silverado was seen driving dangerously on US 2, hitting a curb and another vehicle,” police stated in a Facebook post. “Officers found the truck at EvergreenHealth Monroe.”

Police said he ran away, but officers chased him.

Body camera footage shows him running into the side of a building, then collapsing onto the ground.

He was checked out and medically cleared to be booked into the Snohomish County Jail on charges including DUI, hit-and-run, and other crimes.

“This incident is a reminder of how dangerous impaired driving is for everyone on the road,” law enforcement stated. “Let’s all do our part to keep our roads safe.”
