Man crashes into truck, business, fence and tree

[January 22, 2009]  OLDSMAR, Fla. (AP) -- Authorities said an Oldsmar man crashed into a parked pickup truck, a business, a fence and a tree before he finally landed in the Pinellas County Jail.

According to a news release, a 42-year-old man left a liquor store Tuesday night, climbed into his car and backed into the truck. He then rammed the truck through the front window of the business he had just left.

But the man kept driving, plowing through a fence and crashing into a vacant business. He hit a tree while he was trying to flee the scene, and witnesses held him until deputies arrived.

The suspect was taken to a hospital with injuries that weren't life-threatening.
