SPARTA, N.J. (AP) — New Jersey police say a man poured water on a freezing road to try to fool officers into thinking the cause of his drunken car crash was black ice.
Twenty-year-old Bryan Byers, of Sparta, was arrested Saturday and charged with drunken driving and other offenses.
Authorities say he hit a guardrail after running a stop sign early that morning. Police say Byers and a friend then decided to dump water onto the road, causing it to ice over.
The friend, 20-year-old Alexander Zambenedetti, was also charged with drunken driving.
Police say he wasn’t wearing a shirt despite a wind chill of 15 below zero.
