Car crashes into Al & Ed’s Auto Sound

A man allegedly fell asleep while driving down Magnolia Boulevard early Friday morning, crashing into an automobile accessory store.

The manager of Al & Ed’s Auto Sound received calls from the alarm company and the driver of the vehicle informing him of the incident.

When Burbank police arrived at the scene, the driver had already left. The crash created a hole in a wall of the business on 340 North Victory Blvd. and knocked down a city sign.
