East Rochester Man Faces Charges after Drinking, Driving on Christmas

The Union Leader recently reported on an East Rochester man who was arrested in connection with an accident that occurred Christmas night in Rochester.

Police received a report that a car had gone off of the Milton Road/Route 125 off ramp to Route 16 just after 7:30 p.m. Officials reported that no one was inside the vehicle when officers arrived, but police soon found two men and a boy walking along the roadway near the scene.

The driver was subsequently charged with aggravated driving while intoxicated, conduct following an accident, and endangering the welfare of a child. Fortunately, no injuries were reported as a result of the accident.
