A man was arrested early Friday morning after he reportedly lost control of his pickup and slammed into the front of the Ace Hardware store in downtown Watsonville.
Caught on security video, the white Chevy truck is shown coming around the corner from East Lake Avenue onto southbound Main Street just after 2:30am. The driver then veers over the sidewalk and crashes into Ace Hardware, shattering at least six large window panes, about 35-feet of storefront glass. He then continues driving south with one wheel destroyed, emitting a shower of sparks and he heads down Main Street.
Watsonville Police caught footage of the truck heading over the Main Street bridge thanks to their Flock camera system, leaving a trail of sparks.
Police managed to catch up with the suspect in Pajaro.
This story will be updated.
