Portland Police said a drunk driving accident is what caused disruption to two MAX lines in downtown Sunday.

At around 3 a.m., 38-year-old Brian Edmund Anderson crashed his Hummer H2 on the west end of the Steel Bridge, according to a press release.

He knocked out a support pole and damaged a signal head and two other poles, interrupting the rail line's wiring system and disrupting MAX service along SW 5th and 6th Avenues.

Anderson's blood alcohol level was more than twice the legal limit, authorities said. He was not injured in the incident.

Anderson was booked into the Multnomah County Jail on charges of driving under the influence and reckless driving. He could also face additional charges connected to damage done to the MAX line, which TriMet plans to bill him for.

MAX rail's Green and Yellow lines be

while TriMet works to repair the wires.
