Endicott Man Faces Felony Charge After Crash

A 24-year-old Broome County man has been accused of being under the influence of drugs when his car collided with another vehicle.

Authorities say Samuel Ross of Endicott was charged with driving while his ability was impaired by drugs, a felony. He faces other counts, including leaving the scene of an accident.

According to state police, Ross was arrested on Monday in connection with a crash on Interstate 88 in the Town of Otego.

Investigators say a car driven by Ross drifted into another lane and struck a vehicle. He then allegedly struck a ditch as he drove away.

Police say the arrest was a felony because Ross has a previous conviction for driving while his ability was impaired by drugs.

Ross was ordered to appear in Otego town court on June 30.
