Rollover collision on Antelope Road results in DUI arrest

The driver of a vehicle involved in a rollover traffic collision Friday night in Menifee was arrested on suspicion of felony DUI, authorities said.

The accident occurred about 9 p.m. on Antelope Road just south of Newport Road, according to Menifee Police Department traffic officer Anthony Clay. Two vehicles were involved in the collision. The only injury was to the passenger in the vehicle that rolled over, driven by the DUI suspect.

The collision occurred on a night when officers were out in extra patrol for DUI suspects. In addition to the DUI arrest, four citations were issued for various vehicle code violations and one vehicle was towed.

“Driving under the influence is dangerous, illegal and puts every person driving on the roads at risk. Drivers need to understand the dangers of driving impaired,” Sergeant Matthew Bloch said. “We are out there and will not hesitate to stop drivers who drive impaired.”

The identity of the driver was not immediately released.
