A Niagara Falls man was charged with DWI and driving without a license Thursday night following a crash in which a car went 40 feet over an embankment.
According to the Lockport Police Department report, James B. DeLong, 30, 608 17th St., was driving at North Transit Street and Glenwood Avenue when his car went off the road and down the steep incline.
DeLong and a passenger in the vehicle were both injured in the crash. DeLong was transported by Twin City Ambulance to Erie County Medical Center, where DeLong was eventually charged with DWI. His female passenger was taken to Eastern Niagara Hospital-Lockport.
Originally, DeLong hadn't been charged — although police had determined him to be intoxicated — because he claimed not to be driving the vehicle. Further interview and investigation led LPD to conclude that he was, however.
In addition to DWI, DeLong was charged with first-degree aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle. He is slated to be in City Court on Monday.
