A violent crash that ended with a car overturned after it plowed into a parked car was captured on video in Whittier on Saturday night.

“You could hear the screeching. And then boom!” Sarah Cortez, a resident of the neighborhood told Fox 11. “Big bang. It was like boom! And I was terrified.”

The suspected DUI driver’s vehicle was turned upside down following the collision, which led to a domino effect of parked cars crashing into each other. The driver’s car was eventually stopped by a utility pole.

“When we finally got her out of the car, she kept saying, ‘My baby, my baby.’ Then she said that three guys had robbed her,” Christina Cortez  said to KTLA, noting that there was no evidence of a baby in the vehicle. “There was no trace of anything, there were alcohol beverages all over in the car, and out on the lawn, in the street.”

The driver was hospitalized with minor injuries, then was arrested for driving under the influence
