There was some commotion in downtown Pleasanton Wednesday morning when a driver crashed into a planter box after experiencing a “medical emergency,” a Pleasanton Police Department spokesperson confirmed.

Only the driver was injured and was transported to a local hospital for treatment, PPD Lt. Nicholas Albert told the Weekly Wednesday afternoon. 

“There were no major injuries to the driver as a result of the crash to our knowledge,” Albert said. “There were no additional parties involved or injured as a result of the collision.”

According to the PPD lieutenant, the incident occurred at about 9 a.m. in front of 252 Main St., which is the address of McKay’s Taphouse & Beer Garden. Only the planter box outside the establishment sustained damages, according to Albert.

The unnamed driver is not being charged with a crime. Albert did not disclose the nature of the person’s medical emergency due to health privacy reasons.
