Two motorists were DWI when they crashed in two separate incidents, Carmel Chief Michael Johnson said today.
A 30-year-old man from Mahopac crashed his car on Tuesday, rolling the vehicle over, police said. He was taken by ambulance to the Putnam Hospital Center in Carmel, where he was treated for minor injuries.
Officer Stephen McCabe, who investigated the crash, charged him at the hospital with misdemeanor DWI, failure to keep right and failure to keep unreasonable speed, infractions.
A 34-year-old man of Carmel crashed on Sunday, police said. Officer Louis Lopreato responded to and charged the driver with DWI and aggravated
DWI, misdemeanors. He was also charged with crossing a double-yellow line, an infraction.
The aggravated DWI charge indicates that his blood-alcohol level was at least 0.18 percent. The legal threshold for driving while intoxicated in New York State is 0.08 percent.
