CT Man Accused Of Drunken Driving After Crash

ELMSFORD, NY — A motor vehicle crash on I-287 yielded an arrest for drunken driving. State police said troopers responded to the accident around 3:40 a.m. May 11 on the interstate in the Village of Elmsford.

The investigation found a Chrysler Town & Country minivan became disabled in the right lane and was stuck by a Nissan Altima that failed to see the stopped minivan.

The driver of the Chrysler — Ricardo D. Gavilanes-Teran, 38, of Stamford, Connecticut — was uninjured but was determined to be intoxicated, police said.

He was taken to the Tarrytown barracks where his blood alcohol was determined to be 0.18 percent, according to authorities.

Gavilanes-Teran was turned over to a sober third party and released on an appearance ticket returnable to the Village of Elmsford Court later in the month.

No other person was injured in the accident.
