Police on Tuesday morning arrested a 48-year-old Norwalk man for drunk driving after a car accident in New Canaan.
At about 9:16 a.m., officers were dispatched to the area of White Oak Shade Road at Old Rock Lane, on the Norwalk border, according to a police report.
There, they found that a vehicle emerged from Old Rock Lane had been struck by a motorist traveling northbound on White Oak Shade, the report said.
Officers smelled the odor of alcohol on the driver’s breath, and they subsequently administered field sobriety tests, which he failed, it said.
