A 17-year-old driver wreaked havoc in San Mateo, causing a string of damage and assaulting officers while intoxicated, according to a post by the San Mateo Police Department. The young driver reportedly had a blood alcohol content (BAC) three times the legal limit, leading to impaired judgment and destructive behavior.

The teen crashed into the Central Park sign, causing significant damage, and his troubles only escalated from there. Instead of recognizing the severity of the situation, the intoxicated driver proceeded to make a series of bad decisions. In an altercation with law enforcement, the teen struck one officer and then attempted to bite another; however, to make matters even worse, he had to be medically cleared due to his odd behavior.

The 17-year-old now faces jail time, a wrecked car, and a damaged reputation. Thankfully, nobody else was injured in the incident, but the San Mateo Police Department emphasized in their Facebook post the vital importance of not drinking and driving, stating, "Luck does run out."
