Nicholas P. Kozack was traveling southbound on Lucas Avenue just off Interstate 87 in the Town of Ulster on Sunday, March 13, when he failed to negotiate a left turn and drove off the shoulder striking a large metal sign post, causing the vehicle to flip onto its roof before it came to rest, state police said.

Kozack, a resident of Stone Ridge in Ulster County, was transported by Mobile Life to Kingston Hospital.

Kozack was treated at Kingston Hospital and charged with DWI.

Further charges are pending due to the unauthorized use of the vehicle he was driving at the time of the crash. He was issued a Uniform Traffic Ticket for DWI returnable to the Town of Ulster Court and will be processed at a later date.
