GREELEY, Colo. — An alleged drunk driver crashed through the front doors of University High School Thursday night, according to the Greeley Police Department.
Around 8:55 p.m. Thursday, Greeley police said someone driving a truck hit the front of the building, traveled down a corridor and crashed at the end of a school hallway.
There were no injuries to any bystanders as all school activities were over by that point in the evening, according to Greeley police.
The truck driver was taken into police custody.
School officials determined the school to be structurally sound and classes resumed as normal for Friday, a spokesperson said in a news release.
The driver, 28-year-old Eduardo Perez, suffered minor injuries and was taken into custody without incident after being evaluated by medical personnel.
Perez is now facing several charges, including reckless driving, driving with a revoked license, driving under the influence, criminal mischief, and reckless endangerment.
"This was an isolated incident and there is no ongoing threat to the school or the community," the spokesperson said.
The police department is asking anyone with information about this case to contact Sgt. Chris Bidwell at Chris.Bidwell@greeleypd.com.
