An alleged drunk driver crashed his vehicle through a chain-link fence and into a small aircraft at John Wayne Airport late Friday, a Sheriff's official said.
Luis Perez, 56, was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol after sheriffs responded to a 10:36 p.m. call about the crash, Lt. Jim Englad said.
Perez's vehicle apparently jumped a curb off East Baker Street, cut through the fence and struck the private plane. That plane crashed into a nearby plane.
Though one of the planes began to leak fuel, the crash didn't start a fire and no one was injured, England said.
