Several people were injured, but none with life-threatening injuries.

Ryan Land, 33, of Fallbrook was arrested on felony driving under the influence charges.

He was reportedly going 60 mph in the 25 mph zone. He started in Gardnerville and ended his day in South Lake Tahoe. Land’s vehicle swerved into on coming traffic in front of the casinos, striking two vehicles, before he crashed into the traffic light near McP’s.

South Lake Tahoe police did not provide names and home towns of others involved.

Wrecked cars were on both sides of the state line. Traffic was diverted for a few hours on Dec. 9 for the mess to be cleaned up.

It gave those in the area something to look at as people were lined up in front of the casinos gaping at the wreckage.
