SEAL BEACH – A woman was detained on suspicion of DUI Friday morning after she crashed into a tree and split her Nissan sedan in half, authorities said.

The single-vehicle crash was reported at about 2:15 a.m. on Lampson Avenue west of Basswood Street, said Seal Beach police Sgt. John Scott.

The woman, who suffered minor injuries, was detained on suspicion of DUI and released at the hospital, said Scott. She had no passengers.

It appears the vehicle spun out of control and hit the tree on the passenger side, causing it to split in half behind the driver’s seat, Scott said.
