The car was traveling about 90 mph north on Coast Highway when it hit a parked Ford van near Ninth Avenue at 1:34 a.m., according to police. The van rolled to a nearby hillside. The BMW then hit the back of a parked U-Haul truck, police said.

The driver of the BMW, Aylana Parks, 22, of Placentia, was injured and taken to Mission Hospital in Mission Viejo, the Laguna Beach Fire Department said. She smelled strongly of alcohol, according to a police report.
