Motorists reported a drunken driver on Highway 1 who was weaving in and out of traffic. When Sheriff’s deputies tried to stop the car, the driver veered into the oncoming traffic lane, nearly hitting a second patrol car head-on. When the car was finally pulled over, the driver refused to open his car door and tried to put the car in gear to get away. A deputy smashed the side window to turn off the vehicle and forcibly removed the driver. When the 65-year-old driver was pulled out, he attacked one of the deputies, kicking him several times. The Pacifica man was taken to a local hospital because of his extreme intoxication.
