New York Man With Anti-DWI Device in Own Car Crashes Rental
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Police on Long Island say a convicted drunken driver whose car was equipped with anti-drunken driving technology has crashed a rented vehicle while intoxicated.
Suffolk County police say Marvin Rice Jr. lost control of his rental car and hit a utility pole Sunday morning in Brentwood.
Police say the 27-year-old driver agreed after a previous DWI conviction to have his car equipped with a device that tests for alcohol in a driver's breath before starting the car.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}It was unclear when he rented another car that had no such device.
Police say Rice is being treated for multiple injuries. He is expected to be arraigned on a DWI charge.
A telephone number for Rice could not be found, and it was not immediately known whether he had a lawyer.
