A driver in the 900 block of East Third Avenue hit two parked cars shortly after 5:30 p.m. Saturday.

The driver, a 36-year-old man with an international license, was in a Ford pickup, according to Sgt. Dave Peterson of the Durango Police Department.

He hit a parked vehicle, driving it up on the curb and into the right rear bumper of the third vehicle, Peterson said. The third vehicle was pushed into the street.

Peterson said there were no serious injuries.

“But we’re towing two vehicles with pretty serious damage,” he said.

The pickup and the first vehicle were the most damaged.

The driver is being investigated for driving under the influence.

There were no major traffic delays.
