Mark Ortiz, 39, was charged with driving while intoxicated and two counts of assault by auto.
On Tuesday at 10:07 p.m., Secaucus Police responded to the area of 101 Paterson Plank Road on a reported “head-on crash” involving two vehicles.
Ortiz, of Jersey City, was driving a 2002 Honda Civic when his vehicle crossed over into oncoming traffic and crashed into a 2008 BMW. The collision sent the BMW up into a snow embankment leaving the driver, an 18-year-old Nutley resident, with minor injuries, Miller said.
