CITRUS HEIGHTS, Calif. -- A man who lost control of his vehicle and was later treated for injuries may have buckled in a pack of beer, but not himself, according to a police report.

Citrus Heights police said witnesses saw Alexsandr Gritsyuk traveling northbound at about 60 mph on Van Maren Lane Sunday night, but failed to negotiate a turn at Garden Gate and hit a tree.

Officers said Gritsyuk appeared to be unrestrained by a seat belt, but that a 12-pack of beer in his car was secure.

The investigation is continuing.
