A witness to a hit-and-run
accident in Queens followed the driver and called police, leading to the DWI arrest
of an off-duty police officer, the NYPD said Saturday.
Officer Aaron Sanchez was
arrested at 11:30 p.m. Friday after his car collided with a vehicle at the
intersection of Northern Boulevard and 50th Street, authorities said.
Sanchez allegedly drove away
from the accident scene, but was followed by a witness who contacted police.
Sanchez, who was driving his
own car at the time, was charged with DWI and leaving the scene of an accident,
police said.
No one was injured in the
accident.
