Suspected drunk driver crashes into Central Health clinic

It was business as usual for Central Health’s Southeast Health and Wellness Center on Monday morning even after a suspected drunk driver slammed his car into the building overnight. According to a press release, no patients or staff were at the clinic when the crash happened at 1:30 a.m. The driver plowed through an exterior wall and into a meeting room. The driver was arrested while a female passenger was taken to Dell Seton Medical Center with injuries that were not life threatening. Though the crash didn’t interrupt clinic operations, it did force Central Health to relocate a scheduled community forum the hospital district hosted Monday evening to discuss health-related challenges in eastern Travis County.
