Gerald Gallipoli, 69, had to be treated at The Valley Hospital in Ridgewood for facial injuries following the June 10 crash, Lt. Joseph Soto said.

A witness told Sgt. Michael DeMaio and Officer Kevin Oldewurtel that Gallipoli “walked away from the scene” after his antique coupe went off the road and struck a fire hydrant and concrete bridge column on Russell Avenue near Russell Farms Community Park shortly before 11:30 p.m., Soto said.

Police charged him with DWI, reckless driving, failing to report an accident, leaving the scene of an accident and failing to maintain a lane, the lieutenant said. A Municipal Court date was being set.

The vehicle, meanwhile, was towed with front-end damage.
