NY man with anti-DWI device in car crashes rental
NEW YORK (AP) — 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. Stony Brook University Medical Center says Rice is in critical condition.
Police say the 27-year-old driver agreed after a previous DWI conviction to equip his car with a device that tests for alcohol in a driver's breath before starting the car.
It was unclear when he rented another car that had no such device.
He's expected to be arraigned on a DWI charge.
A telephone number for Rice couldn't be found, and it wasn't immediately known whether he had a lawyer.
