Nobody was hurt, but the collision was a close call, happening just minutes after a family had been sitting inside one of the vehicles.

All three vehicles hit by the sander — a Chevy Tahoe, a Jeep and a Honda Civic — were totalled.

Police said alcohol and drugs are not considered factors in the crash, and no other charges are pending against the 29-year-old driver.
