New Jersey Drunk Driving Suspect Arrested
A South River woman was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence in New Jersey and crashing her car, this news Web site reports. Police arrested 40-year-old Iryna Matviyishyn after a passing motorist called a report that a vehicle had driven off Main Street in Milltown into a tree. The caller also told police that a woman seemed to be running away from the scene of the crash.
Police apparently saw Matviyishyn standing near her blue Volkswagen Passat when they arrived on scene. Officers apparently determined that Matviyishyn was intoxicated and arrested her. Matviyishyn was charged with DWI, refusing to submit to a breath test, reckless driving, driving with a suspended license, consumption of alcoholic beverages inside a motor vehicle, and possession of open containers in a motor vehicle. Officials also say she did not have a proper New Jersey driver’s license.
New Jersey law requires drivers to take a breath test. The law states that any person who drives a motor vehicle on a public road, street or highway “shall be deemed to have given his consent to the taking of samples of his breath for the purpose of making chemical tests to determine the content of alcohol in his blood."
