Police: Accident with Injury, DUI for Driver with 3X Alcohol Limit
|
A three-vehicle accident that resulted in an injury for one Darien man was caused by an intoxicated driver who had more than three times the legal amount of alcohol in his blood, Darien police said. The 53-year-old driver was charged with driving while under the influence after Darien police used a search warrant to get the driver’s hospital records and then arrested him on a warrant after the Sept. 21 accident. The driver was previously charged with driving while under the influence in 2011 in Stamford. Darien police described the case in this account (containing accusations not proven in court):
Jaroslav Judak was driving a Chevrolet Explorer van south on Hollow Tree Ridge Road around 4 p.m. that day, a Monday, when he made a left turn onto Heights Road — but continued turning left too far and crossed the double yellow lines on Heights.
