Macarthur Boulevard was then shut down from 1:25 a.m. until 3:23 a.m. due to the vehicle blocking the roadway.

Police said it was determined the Escape was headed south and veered off the right side of the road, striking a fire hydrant and then a large tree, which caused it to roll over and land in the middle of Macarthur Boulevard, about 129 feet from the point of impact.

“The crash is still under investigation, pending possible criminal charges,” police said. “Drug impairment (marijuana) is believed to be a factor.”
