West Warwick Man Charged In Drunken Hit-And-Run Crash In South Kingstown: Police

SOUTH KINGSTOWN, RI — A West Warwick man was arrested last week after South Kingstown police said he was involved in a drunken hit-and-run crash.

Gary Wilson, 66, was charged on Oct. 31, with driving under the influence of liquor and/or drugs (second offense), duty to stop for an accident, and driving with a suspended license.

Around 6:23 p.m., police said they received a call about a car leaving the scene of a crash. Police said they found Wilson and learned he crashed into additional vehicles after the initial crash.

Wilson was injured and was taken to the hospital, police said.

"We continue to see a disturbing number of adults who are making bad decisions and driving impaired on our roads at all hours of the day," Police Chief Matthew Moynihan said "Our officers are out on patrol, but with more than 300 miles of road in South Kingstown, we can’t be everywhere, so we certainly appreciate the public’s help in identifying impaired drivers."
