No one was injured in the accident
LUDLOW – A 44-year-old Chicopee man was arrested on his third drunken driving offense after he allegedly hit a car parked in a driveway parallel to the street.
Leonard E. Asselin, 44, was arrested at about 5:40 p.m. after a police officer pulled him over on Holyoke Street when he saw the car had serious front-end damage and was leaking oil and other fluids, Ludlow police Sgt. Daniel Valadas said.
At the same time of the stop, six people called 911 reporting an accident at 18 Fuller St., Valadas said.
Asselin is being accused of striking a 2007 Saturn with his 2001 Jeep Cherokee and leaving the scene of the accident. No one was in the parked car and Asselin was not injured. Both cars had serious damage, he said.
Police were able to follow a path of oil and other fluids to the car on Holyoke Street. Asselin was charged with drunken driving and other crimes including operating after license revocation, leaving the scene of a property damage accident, reckless operation of a car and on an outstanding warrant, Valadas said.
Asselin is scheduled to be arraigned in Palmer District Court Monday.
