LAYTON — A man was injured early Sunday morning after plowing into a building in Layton, police said.
The crash occurred at 5:25 a.m. at 1010 N. 400 West at a Check City near Hill Air Force Base.
The 26-year-old man, driving southbound on Hill Field Road in a Jeep, was suspected of driving under the influence when he failed to negotiate a curve, crossed the wrong lane and hit the building, said Layton Police Sgt. Brent Ericksen.
The man was able to climb out of the wreckage, Ericksen said, and was taken to a hospital.
Erickson did not know the man’s condition as of late Sunday morning.
The man, whose name was not immediately released, was cited for DUI, the sergeant said.
Photos show the front end of the Jeep inside the building after the crash, with a large hole smashed through the building’s brick. Photos taken inside the business show a crushed vending machine and cement scattered over the floor.
No one was in the building at the time of the crash.
