Wrong-Way Driver Causes Head-On Crash, Injuries on Bronx River Parkway

A 42-year-old Yonkers man was arrested on a DWI charge Saturday night after he drove the wrong way on the Bronx River Parkway in Greenburgh and slammed head-on into another car. The crash is the latest in a rash of similar wrong-way accidents to plague the Hudson Valley over the past couple of years.

Hernando Biron, of Shoreview Drive in Yonkers, failed a field sobriety test and was transported to county police headquarters in Hawthorne, where he was charged with Driving While Intoxicated, a misdemeanor, and issued a summons for the wrong-way violation.

The driver of the other vehicle, Steven Tally, 49, of West Harrison was taken by ambulance to Westchester Medical Center in Valhalla with non-life-threatening injuries.

The crash occurred a little after 11 p.m. on Saturday.

According to Westchester County Police, Biron was driving a 2011 Honda sedan southbound in the northbound lane - the wrong direction - on the Bronx River Parkway when he struck a 2004 Ford sedan driven by Tally.

Biron was released on $100 bail and is scheduled to appear in Greenburgh Town Court on May 18.
