A Placerville man suspected of drunk driving narrowly missed hitting other cars in a single-car accident, according the California Highway Patrol. Matthew Carlile, 29, of Placerville was traveling south on Hwy 49 north of Plymouth when he attempted to slower traffic ahead. When he entered the northbound lane to pass, Carlile saw a vehicle approaching  in the northbound lane but was unable to safely maneuver his car back into his own lane. He braked and slide off the northbound shoulder into a drainage ditch, just missing oncoming traffic. Carlile was not injured in the accident, but he was arrested at the scene for driving under the influence of alcohol.
