The crash happened on Irving Avenue in Bushwick, according to police, when a Kia Sportage and Toyota Yaris collided around 1 a.m. Monday. The force of the crash appeared to total both vehicles.

Cops were searching throughout the morning for the occupants of the Kia who reportedly ran from the area. The NYPD said a 26-year-old man had been arrested by late morning and was expected to be charged with driving while intoxicated.
