"Man accused of trying to pin crash on ice" Associated Press February 18, 2015
SPARTA, N.J. — A man poured water onto a freezing road to try to fool officers into thinking the cause of his drunken car crash was black ice, police say.
Bryan Byers, 20, of Sparta, was arrested Saturday and charged with drunken driving and other offenses.
Authorities say he hit a guardrail after running a stop sign in a BMW early that morning.
Shortly after the crash, police said, Alexander Zambenedetti, 20, a friend of Byers, showed up in his own car.
The two men then dumped 5-gallon buckets of water onto the road to create black ice, police said.
