Story

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.

Funny thing is that the cop who was first officer on the scene is my buddy.

Yeah, my buddy said the uglier looking brother had a 0.360 and the other brother had a 0.164 alcohol level. In NY 0.08 is the limit.

Ummm... nope. You can question how he was able to get himself behind the wheel and drive but .360 is not fatal. Especially if you're a hard-core alcoholic which, if you managed to get in and drive, you most certainly are.

Can you like have several drinks right away but not feel it for a while and that would raise your level...
