11:52 PM – During the course of investigating a rollover motor vehicle accident on Rock Road, near Midwood, P.O. Sarah Orsita arrested a 40-year-old Ridgewood man for driving while intoxicated. Upon arrival, officers found the driver trapped inside a 2022 Ford Expedition, which was on its side. P.O. T.J. Graziani was able to break out the vehicle’s sunroof and extricate him.
An investigation determined that the vehicle was traveling east on Rock Road when it collided with two vehicles legally parked at the side of the road, then collided with the curb which caused it to roll over onto the driver’s side. The driver stated to officers that he did not know what happened. While attending to the driver, officers detected a strong odor of alcoholic beverages, slurred speech, and other signs consistent with intoxication.
The driver was subsequently transported by ambulance to the Valley Hospital in Ridgewood for evaluation. While at the hospital, blood samples for toxicology testing were drawn. He was left in the custody of hospital personnel and a sober family member. In addition to being charged with D.W.I., he was also issued a summons for careless driving.
All three vehicles, which were extensively damaged, were towed from the scene.
