Two Critically Injured after Hitting Sleeping Drunk?s Parked Car in Road

An accident in Newark has left two critically injured after their car rear-ended the vehicle of a drunken man who parked in the middle of the road and went to sleep, reported The Star-Ledger.

A drunken Rolondo Ibarrafreire, 29, of Linden, parked his Ford pickup truck in the southbound left lanes of Routes 1&9 and then fell asleep, according to police. Nelson Letra, 35, who had been traveling behind Ibarrafreire's vehicle, pulled onto the shoulder and called 911 to alert police to the danger.

'I said, somebody is going to die,' Letra told The Star-Ledger. 'I got scared because I kept seeing all these cars swerving to avoid this guy. I stayed there for 15 minutes, and not one cop car showed up.'

About 3 a.m., Luis Vega, 26, of Hillside, and his unidentified 23-year-old passenger in a Honda Civic crashed into the rear end of Ibarrafreire's pickup. Ambulances transported all three people to University Hospital in Newark, where they released Ibarrafreire after treatment of minor injuries and Vega and his passenger remain hospitalized in critical condition.

Newark police arrested Ibarrafreire for driving drunk and denied receiving any 911 calls from Letra.
