SACRAMENTO, Calif. --
Alcohol may have played a role in a Sacramento single-car crash that left the driver with serious injuries, the California Highway Patrol said.
The CHP said a northbound BMW was exiting Interstate 5 at Del Paso Road shortly before 4 a.m. Thursday when the driver lost control of the car, causing it to leave the road and hit a tree.
The rear of the car was torn off and the driver was ejected, the CHP said.
The driver, who was found unconscious, was taken to a local hospital.
The CHP said at least one occupant of the car may have been drinking prior to the crash.
A passenger who was in the car was being interviewed by the CHP
