Randolph NJ police arrested a man on suspicion of drunk driving after he allegedly crashed his vehicle.

According to police officers, 49-year-old Richard Riveron overturned his 2000 Toyota MR2 near the intersection of Sorman Terrace and Pleasant Hill Road in Randolph, New Jersey.

When police officers, firefighters, and rescue squad members arrived at the scene, they removed Riveron from his vehicle. According to authorities, Riveron told responders that he had lost control of his car on black ice.

Riveron complained of pain after the accident, so he was taken to Morristown Medical Center for treatment.
