CENTERVILLE, Wis. (AP) -- Trempealeau County deputies say two bar patrons were almost hit by their own car this week when an alleged drunk driver slammed into it and knocked it through the wall into the saloon.

Neither the patrons nor the driver was hurt.

Authorities say the two men were playing pool at the Jailhouse Saloon in Centerville a little before closing time Wednesday morning when their car flew through the wall.

Authorities arrested the 35-year-old Onalaska man who allegedly caused the crash. Bar manager Diane Schwartz says he's a regular who might have missed the parking lot turnoff.

He was arrested on tentative charges of drunken driving and driving with a revoked license.

Schwartz says the two men are lucky they weren't hit.
