Driver charged after car rolls over on Storrow Drive, strikes building – The Boston Globe

A 23-year-old Boston man who was allegedly speeding and driving under the influence of alcohol rolled over a 2019 Nissan Rogue on Storrow Drive early Monday and then struck a retaining wall and a building, according to State Police.

The crash occurred on Storrow Drive eastbound at Clarendon Street around 2:20 a.m., Dave Procopio, a State Police spokesman, said in an e-mail.

Troopers arrived to the find the Rogue lying on its side up against a building at the corner of Clarendon and Back streets, Procopio said. They talked with the driver, Devansh Kumar, who was the Rogues lone occupant and was uninjured, and gave him a portable breath test.

The troopers determined that Kumar was impaired and placed him in custody, taking him to the Boston barracks and administering a breathalyzer test, Procopio said.

Kumar faces charges of speeding, operating under the influence of liquor, negligent operation of a motor vehicle, and a marked lanes violation, Procopio said. He is expected to be arraigned at Roxbury Municipal Court.
