Officers did not say exactly where the driver was found, but he was so fast asleep that they were able to approach unnoticed and shine a bright light into his car.

A quick investigation found that the driver was allegedly under the influence of alcohol. He was then arrested.

CHP says the Regional Campaigns Against Impaired Drivers grant is putting more officers on the road to fight DUIs.
