SEBASTOPOL - An officer investigating the sound of squealing tires found the scene of a DUI crash in Sebastopol Sunday night, police said.

The officer was in the vicinity of Jewell and Bodega avenues at 8:09 p.m. when he heard the tires squeal. He could also see smoke and smell rubber burning, police said.

When he arrived at the scene of the crash the officer found a pickup truck with front-end damage facing the wrong way on Jewell Avenue, near the Sebastopol Fire Department, with black streaks on the roadway from the burned tires.

The driver had hit a large tree, disabling the truck, according to police.
