(P.A. police photo) A South Orange man was charged with driving while intoxicated and reckless driving early this morning after he sideswiped a car inside the New York-bound Holland Tunnel, Port Authority police said.
Christopher Moccia's blood-alcohol level was 0.16, twice the legal limit, P.A. police spokesman Joe Pentangelo said.
A Port Authority officer saw Moccia's 2014 Jeep strike a 2008 BMW in the south tube of the tunnel at 12:30 a.m. and pulled over both vehicles, Pentangelo said.
Moccia, 36, staggered after he got out of the Jeep and police saw that his eyes were bloodshot, police said. He also could not keep his balance while walking, police said.
The driver of the BMW refused medical attention.
