WEST OCEAN CITY, Md. (AP) - Police say three people in a pickup truck were injured when a man under the influence of alcohol drove the vehicle into a porch in West Ocean City.

The Daily Times of Salisbury reports Maryland State Police responded to the crash Saturday afternoon.

Police said when troopers interviewed the driver, 24-year-old Juan Gabriel Caraballo, they smelled alcohol.

Caraballo was taken to Peninsula Regional Medical Center, and two passengers were taken to Atlantic General Hospital with injuries.

Police said in a news release that Caraballo was charged with DUI, negligent driving and failure to control speed to avoid a collision. Court records don't list an attorney.
