Police say a man chasing down an alleged drunk driver who ran from a crash on Long Island late Wednesday was hit and injured by a car.
Jonathan Moore, 26, allegedly ran from a three-car pileup in the express lanes of the Long Island Expressway in Holtsville just before midnight, according to the Suffolk County Police Department.
A man who was driving saw Moore fleeing the scene and chased after him, police say. The two ran across the highway and crossed a service road. That’s when a vehicle hit the man chasing Moore, seriously injuring his leg.
Police later tracked down Moore and arrested him. He is charged with leaving the scene of an accident, driving while intoxicated and other crimes.
The man who was hit by the car was taken to an area hospital.
The investigation into the crash is continuing, police say. Anyone with information about the wreck is asked to call the Suffolk County police at 631-854-8652.
