DUI Driver Rams Stones With Porsche

A Barrington man, 32, faces drunk-driving charges after he drove his Porsche through a stone wall at 700 Maple Ave. near Middle Highway late Sunday night and then left the scene of the accident.

David K. Onik of Barrington Avenue hit the wall at approximately 10:21 pm, according to police. He backed his vehicle off the wall and onto the street and then drove home, police said. Onik and his passenger, Rachel Onik, were not injured.

Onik was charged by police with DUI first offense, refusing to submit to a chemical test, refusing to submit to a preliminary breath test, failure to maintain proper control of his motor vehicle, failure to file an accident report and laned roadway violations.

Police said Onik initially said he hit a wall off of Route 195 after being cut off by another vehicle while driving home. He later admitted that he was driving while under the influence of alcohol.
