Police: Man in DUI Crash Said He Was Driving Around to Sober Up

LAKEHURST, N.J. — Police have heard many excuses from suspected drunk drivers over the years.

But police say what they heard from a Toms River man is one for the books: He told them he was driving around until he was sober enough to go home, fearing his mother would know he was drunk.

But before he could make it home Monday, police say 36-year-old Edward Defreitas crashed into an ambulance, causing it to overturn in the Route 70 circle in Lakehurst.

Defreitas is being held in the Ocean County Jail on numerous charges, including aggravated assault, drunk driving and drug offenses.

Authorities said the injuries to two paramedics in the ambulance were not life-threatening.
