Call it fate. Call it coincidence. Call it … well, call it dumb luck.

Police in South Carolina said a man driving drunk was unable to hit his brakes and ended up crashing into a … Brakes 4 Less shop.

The Greenville Police posted Facebook that 21-year-old Jaderric Kevon Freeman of Montgomery, Ala., ended up behind bars after the crash early Saturday morning.

Police said Freeman, who has been charged with DUI, collided with another car and lost control of his vehicle. He ended up crashing into the brakes shop and damaged more cars inside, police said.

The driver of the first car Freeman struck was taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries, police said.
