An alleged drunken driving hit-and-run forced the closure of a Santa Barbara intersection early Saturday morning, according to the Santa Barbara Police Department.

The pedestrian hit was transported to Cottage Hospital with moderate injuries and is expected to recover.

The involved vehicle appears to have driven through the intersection, hit a pedestrian, and then ran through a gas meter on the other side of the curb, ending up in a building at the corner, authorities said in a news release.

“The collision caused a significant gas leak requiring emergency shut-off, with several roadways closed for about 6 hours,” said Assistant Chief Marylinda Arroyo.

The crash happened about 4 a.m. at the intersection of Yanonali and Calle Cesar Chavez streets. The intersection was re-opened at 10 a.m.

Police found the driver and they were arrested for felony DUI and hit and run. The investigation is ongoing at this time, Arroyo said.
