Recently, police arrested former NBA player, Jason Williams for driving while impaired (
DWI) in
New York. This is not the first time Williams has had a run-in with law enforcement.
According to reports, police were called to the scene of a single-vehicle collision during early morning hours. When they arrived at the scene of the accident, they saw that Williams was injured and behind the wheel of a Black Mercedes SUV.
At this time, police are saying that alcohol consumption played a role in the DWI accident. They say that Williams was so impaired by alcohol that he drove his SUV into a tree at an incredibly high speed, which led to him sustaining injuries.
Witnesses who watched the accident say that Williams jumped into the passenger seat of his vehicle before police arrived. Once officers arrived, they arrested Williams for DWI and transported him to a nearby hospital to receive treatment for his injuries.
