Rochester Police officers responded to the report of a rollover crash in the 2,000 block of Valley High Dr. Northwest around 11 p.m. A police spokesperson said investigators determined a 2018 Dodge Charger was traveling west when it struck a curb, left the roadway and struck a parked car in the 1950 block of Valley High Dr. Northwest.

The vehicle then struck a residence before turning over and coming to rest in a yard. Responding officers reported seeing the driver walking around when they arrived at the scene. Officers suspected 28-year-old man of driving under the influence and obtained a warrant for a blood sample that was sent to the BCA for testing. The man reportedly told police he was feeling dizzy.
