West Windsor Man Arrested On Suspicion of Driving Under the Influence
Police arrested a 28-year-old West Windsor man on suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol, crashing his car, then walking away from the scene of the accident. According to this news report, Roman Karvalis lost control of his Honda while driving on Route 1 near Carnegie Center Boulevard.
Officials say Karvalis gave them conflicting accounts of the crash. Eyewitnesses reported seeing Karvalis’ Honda and another black vehicle speeding and weaving through traffic. Police also received reports that Karvalis then lost control of his Honda, which flipped a couple of times. Officers reportedly caught up with Karvalis in his home, determined he was intoxicated and arrested him on suspicion of driving under the influence, reckless driving, leaving the scene of an accident and failure to report an accident.
