Police: Alleged Drunk Driver Drove the Wrong Way

A dangerous situation played out Saturday afternoon in Pearl River, when police say an accused drunk driver drove the wrong way down Veterans Memorial Drive.

LoHud is reporting that a 34 year-old man from West New York, New Jersey (yes, this is a town) was cruising west in an eastbound lane as other drivers desperately swerved out of the way to avoid collision. Orangetown police say the day-drinker's BAC was more than twice the legal limit.

Luckily, no one was hurt. LoHud reports that the man was charged with felony counts of driving while intoxicated and aggravated driving while intoxicated.
