St. Patrick’s Day wasn’t so lucky for an Iowa City man who police say crashed into a bridge while driving drunk.

Just after 3:15am on March 17th first responders were called to the median of Highway 6 East just west of the bridge over the Iowa River for a vehicle in the median. An investigation determined that 42-year-old Leonardo Antonio Escobar Campos of Arbandy Drive in the Modern Manor manufactured housing community had crashed his 2012 Dodge Grand Caravan into the bridge. Escobar Campos showed multiple signs of intoxication, and several open containers of alcohol were found inside his vehicle. He denied drinking, but he failed field sobriety and breath tests.

Escobar Campos is charged with Operating While Intoxicated.
