Dramatic video footage shows the Nissan Altima was travelling at high speed in Santa Ana, in Orange County, at around 5.25am on Sunday.
It narrowly missed a passing car before hitting a central reservation, missing a passing bus, and then becoming wedged into the second floor of the building.
Santa Ana Police Department said the driver admitted to being under the influence and that they will be submitting a DUI/narcotics case to the District Attorney for review.
A passenger was also present and sustained minor injuries.
A specialist fire truck had to be brought to the scene from Los Angeles to extract the car from the building.
