N.J. Woman Got Drunk at Billy Joel Concert, Hit Car, Fled Through Holland Tunnel: Cops

A New Jersey woman who said she got drunk at a Billy Joel concert hit a car in New York City Sunday morning before fleeing into the Holland Tunnel, according to the Port Authority police.

She was then caught in New Jersey, police said.

Around 3:30 a.m., Allison Rothman Cantor of Short Hills was driving a 2015 Mercedes Benz when she rear-ended a 2002 Mercedes Benz driven by a 54-year-old man, police said.

Cantor, 42, stepped out to assess the damage, then get back in her car. When officers told her to pull over, she instead headed for New Jersey before getting stopped in Jersey City.

Cantor told police she had just left a Billy Joel concert in Manhattan. The suspect failed both the field sobriety test and breathalyzer test administered by the police, police said.

The male driver of the damaged vehicle refused medical attention.
