Carlos Santana kicked off his weekend by crashing into a parked car in Las Vegas on Friday night. But he walked away unhurt. And he wasn’t drunk.

According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the 66-year-old guitar hero smashed his ride into a parked car while driving through a ritzy neighborhood in the west Las Vegas Valley on Sept. 13. Santana was alone at the time of the accident.

Even though it’s not certain if Santana was given a sobriety field test after the crash, a spokesman for the Las Vegas Metro Police Department said he wasn’t driving under the influence. Other details are sketchy as well, like what exactly happened and what damage was done to the vehicles. Apparently, Santana was driving home when the accident occurred.

“He hit a parked car, it was a minor accident, is all,” said a police lieutenant, who added that the incident wasn’t even worth logging into the records. Santana had a show in the area the night before the accident.

Carlos Santana's Vegas "fender bender" wasn't a fender bender at all -- the famed guitarist straight up TOTALED his Fisker Karma so bad, it had to be towed away ... all because Carlos was catching a few zzzz's behind the wheel.

Media reports initially downplayed Friday's crash, calling it a "minor accident" -- but we've obtained a photo that screams otherwise.

As you can see, the front bumper was destroyed during the accident, and the air bags were deployed ... pretty much the definition of a serious crash.

Law enforcement sources tell us, 66-year-old Carlos told them he had fallen asleep at the wheel before the accident ... which is why he lost control. It makes sense, because there were no skid marks.

Contrary to initial reports that Carlos struck one parked car -- we're told the guitarist actually hit TWO before his car came to a halt.

Luckily, no one was injured, including Carlos.

Mucho yerbabuena.

maybe Carlos should buy a "NoVa".....

He must have been listening to one of his own CD's.

No worries, revenue generated from his fans interest in his music pays the bills.
