BOWLING GREEN, Ky. – Bowling Green police arrested a man Friday after multiple vehicles were damaged from reckless driving.

Upon arrival, the officer spoke to the driver of the vehicle, Sadmir Beganovic, 34, of Bowling Green.

According to police, Beganovic said he was driving his vehicle southbound on College Street when a tired failed. Beganovic lost control of the vehicle and struck a parked, unoccupied vehicle at the driver’s side.
