Police received numerous calls for a one-car accident moments later on South Riverside Avenue at 11:48 p.m. that resulted in a Driving While Intoxicated arrest of a Putnam Valley woman.

The 53-year-old was involved in a property damage accident and complained to paramedics of chest pain, but apparently checked out okay, said Sgt. John Nikitopoulos.

She was then charged with DWI and released with a return court on $100 bail that she posted.
