83-Year Old Driver Chases Down DUI Suspect

Man chased drunk driver across two states.




Frank Canale, 83, and his daughter, Lori Canale-Smith, were headed to a wedding when they were rear-ended by a suspected drunk driver in a pick-up truck. The two then initiated a pursuit that started on Interstate 684 in New York and ended in the suspect's driveway in Danbury, Connecticut.

As the elder Canale drove, his daughter called police to alert them to a motorist driving under the influence. When the suspect stopped at his home, the two blocked him in until police arrived. By the time they finished police reports for two states, the pair had missed the wedding ceremony. Law enforcement officers arrested the truck driver and charged him with DUI and driving without a license.

Have you been arrested for DWI in NY or DUI in CT?
