To have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse.

New York State police say they are investigating a one-vehicle crash that left property damage Saturday night. But while they say the suspect behind the wheel was driving way over the legal limit that night, it appears there is more than one suspect. Now, both a husband and wife from New York state are facing charges.

His and Hers DWIs

New York State police said in a press release that a 44-year-old man from Pulaski, NY was traveling south on I-81 when he veered off the west shoulder of the roadway and struck an earth embankment. While the driver wasn't hurt, according to police, his vehicle sustained heavy damage.

But as police were investigating the crash, they say they noticed a second vehicle running and parked along the shoulder near the accident scene. As it turns out, the alleged driver of the second vehicle is the wife of the suspect, and police say their investigation proved that she had driven to the scene to assist her husband.
