Harrison police said Jesus Cano, 27, of Yonkers was arrested and charged after the crash, which occurred along the eastbound side of the service road to I-287 about 5 p.m., said Detective Derka Abbate 

When Harrison and Westchester County police arrived on scene they found a black Acura RSX, that had gone off the road and knocked over a Westchester County bus stop and a utility police, temporarily cutting power to a nearby traffic signal.

Officers said the driver had fled the scene but was later located at his Yonkers home around 8 p.m.

He was charged with aggravated DWI, DWI, leaving the scene of an accident, and speeding.
