Drivers Hit Parked Cars in Two Accidents

Sunday and Monday saw unrelated crashes on Moraga and Kingston avenues

Two drivers hit parked cars in separate, unrelated accidents in Piedmont Sunday and Monday, a Piedmont Police Department spokesman said.

In the first incident, a 23-year-old Piedmont man driving his father's Honda Odyssey hit a parked vehicle in the 300 block of Moraga Avenue about 2:20 a.m. on Jan. 29, Detective George Phifer said.

The driver was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol (DUI) after a field sobriety test was administered, Phifer said. Investigators are now waiting for results of a blood alcohol test, he said.

The Honda's airbags deployed and the driver was not injured, Phifer said.

In the second accident, a driver veered and hit two parked cars in the 800 block of Kingston Avenue about 9:40 a.m. on Jan. 30, Phifer said. The driver was not injured but was taken to Alta Bates Hospital to be checked for a possible medical condition, he said. A dog in the driver's vehicle was released to a neighbor for temporary care, he said.
