Funny thing is that the cop who was first officer on the scene is my buddy.
BRENTWOOD, N.Y. Brothers David and Michael Murphy ran into each other early Saturday morning. Unfortunately, police said, they were behind the wheels of separate cars and both were drunk.
The two vehicles collided at 4:10 a.m. at the intersection of Plunkett Street and Radcliff Drive, where Michael Murphy ran a stop sign in his 1998 Volkswagen and slammed into the passenger side of his brother David's car, Suffolk County police said.
Although both cars had passengers, no injuries were reported. Both Michael Murphy's car and his brother's 2006 Volkswagen were so badly damaged that tow trucks were needed to clear them from the intersection.
David Murphy, 22, and Michael Murphy, 21, were both arrested on charges of driving while intoxicated after the crash, police said. Both men are from Brentwood.
