Fabian Madera, age 43, of Shelton, was arrested around 10:20 p.m., Tuesday, March 23, after New York State Police responded to a two-vehicle crash on I-95 in Mamaroneck, said Trooper Tara McCormick.

A preliminary investigation revealed that Madera was driving a Toyota Camry northbound, approaching a lane closure in a work zone when he rear-ended a construction vehicle blocking the right lane, McCormick said.

Madera was found to be intoxicated, she added.

He was taken into custody and processed in Tarrytown where his blood alcohol content was determined to be 0.19 percent or twice the legal limit.

There were no injuries reported as a result of the crash.
