A 50-year-old drunken driver lost control of his Porsche and slammed through a fence, overturning the vehicle and landing inside a Bronx playground, police said.
The victim was speeding along the Henry Hudson Parkway near W. 231st St. in Riverdale about 7:15 a.m. when he lost control of his luxury car.
The vehicle veered off the highway, hit a light pole before crashing into the playground.
During the madness, a tire flew off the Porsche, blowing out the back window of a Honda CRV that a woman had just parked nearby, a source with knowledge of the case said.
The woman was taken to New York Presbyterian/The Allen Hospital with minor injuries.
