New York transportation officials will inspect all 450 entrance and exit ramps on Long Island following a wave of wrong-way drunken driving arrests.
Police and emergency responders have been busy all night on Long Island. Slick, icy road conditions are to blame. The thin coating of wet snow and temperatures in the low 20s led to accidents.
The arrests are the fourth and fifth incidents of wrong-way driving in a month. Unlike the other incidents, however, neither arrest early Thursday involved accidents or injuries.
An off-duty New York City police officer killed in a crash with a wrong-way driver was remembered at his funeral as a man of religious faith who was devoted to his family.
An accused wrong-way driver in a collision on the Long Island Expressway was intoxicated, prosecutors said at her bedside arraignment.
Officer Andre Menzies, 35, was killed early Monday morning on his way home from a shift at the Queens Housing Bureau.
