Arizona police estimate 30 people were injured when, they said, a 73-year-old man drove into the building of the lodge he was trying to leave.
Thomas Edward Kain, 73, was arrested after the vehicle drove into the Elks Lodge building in Apache Junction on Saturday night, police said. Alcohol "was a contributing factor," said police, who provided no additional details.
"This accident shows just how dangerous it can be to drink and drive," Apache Junction police said. "Alcohol impairs your ability to drive safely by reducing your reaction time and decision-making skills."
No deaths were reported, but police reported a number of injuries of varying severity. At least 10 people were taken to local hospitals.
One person was in critical but stable condition.
