FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) -- Two teens are in trouble with the law after crashing into a water pipe near the Madera County Jail.

The crash happened just after midnight on Road 28 and A Street.

CHP officers say two teens in a Chevy Malibu were both under the influence of marijuana when the driver fell asleep -- then woke up and swerved to avoid a cat. That's when they hit a ground water pipe, causing some flooding in the jail parking lot.

The driver is being charged with felony DUI. Both teens suffered minor injuries.
