Nathaniel Dickerson turned himself in at 10 a.m., and was charged with assault by auto, Hudson County Prosecutor Esther Suarez said.
Dickerson was heading northbound in a 1999 Nissan Maxima when he hit a concrete barrier separating the north and southbound lanes, around 3:35 a.m. on Sept. 13, Suarez said.
His car then ricocheted across to the right and hit a 2012 Honda Civic parked at 910 Tonnelle Avenue, then a utility pole, Suarez said.
Dickerson's passenger, a 31-year-old Johnston, PA man, was ejected and taken to Jersey City Medical Center with serious injuries, Suarez said.
A toxicology report found Dickerson's blood alcohol level was 0.205 percent (g/100mL) -- more than twice the legal limit.
Dickerson was also taken by EMS to Jersey City Medical Center, where he was treated and released.
