Provo Man Drives Into Liquor Store Wall, Backyard, And Garage

(KUTV) A Provo man is behind bars after crashing into a liquor store and his own garage.

Officers say 42-year-old Noah Rewis crashed his car into a retaining wall Monday at the State Liquor Store located at 166 South Freedom Blvd. The crash caused significant damage to both the retaining wall and Rewis vehicle. Rewis fled the scene.

Provo Officers were able to follow skid marks from the suspects vehicle to a home in the area of 400 North and 1000 West where they found that the same driver had driven up over the sidewalk and into the backyard of the home.

Officers determined the suspect drove into the backyard where he struck a tree and then drove into the front yard, where he drove over a rose bush.

The driver again fled the scene before police arrived.

After speaking with nearby construction workers who saw the suspects car, police were able to track down Rewis to his home a few blocks away.

They found the vehicle sticking out of the garage Rewis had apparently attempted to drive into the garage while the door was down.

Police arrested Rewis and charged him with leaving the scene of an accident and driving under the influence.
