A Massachusetts man was charged with a DUI after Connecticut State Police said he hit a brick wall and an unoccupied vehicle at a home in Somers Thursday night.
State police responded to Springfield Road in Somers after 11 p.m. Thursday for a reported crash.
Troopers said a 35-year-old East Longmeadow man driving an Audi failed to stop at a stop sign at the intersection of Bugbee Lane and Springfield Road, then crossed both lanes on Springfield Road, before driving across the front lawn of a home, striking a brick wall and an unoccupied car, state police said.
The man failed a field sobriety test and was arrested and charged with driving under the influence and failure to maintain a proper lane, state police said.
He was released on a $500 cash/surety bond and is scheduled to appear in Rockville Superior Court on Oct. 4.
