Teaneck Man Admits To Drunken GWB Accident That Didn’t Happen: Police

Port Authority officers arrested a Teaneck man at the George Washington Bridge early Sunday morning after he allegedly sped his car through a construction zone and admitted to an accident that didn’t actually take place, police say.

The incident began around 3:25 a.m., when a Port Authority police officer allegedly saw Hermogene A. Reynoso, 47, of Teaneck, drive his 2015 Acura through a construction zone, crossing into other lanes several times without signaling, authorities stated.

When the officer stopped Reynoso, the 47-year-old allegedly admitted that he “hit a car on the bridge” and recently drank Hennessy, police said.

During the encounter, the officer noticed that Reynoso allegedly smelled like alcohol and was slurring his speech. Reynoso later failed a field sobriety and breath test, police said.

Police didn’t find any evidence of the accident that Reynoso reported, authorities said.

Reynoso was charged with DWI and issued multiple traffic summonses, police stated.
