After his car was sideswipped, a 17-year-old teen from Somers, NY pursued and then boxed in the other car until police arrived. Police arrested Kathryn Agi of Yorktown whose blood alcohol content tested at 5x the legal limit. The incident happened in Mahopac yesterday. Here is an excerpt from CBSNewYork.com, ‘Hero’ Westchester Teen Stops Alleged Drunk Driver:
The Somers teen was in his car, driving with a friend, when his vehicle was hit on the driver’s side. “I didn’t even see it coming, and she flew past me and sideswiped the side of my car,” [Max] Yovane said. Police said Yovane’s car was struck by 25-year-old Kathryn Angi, who was so drunk that she had to be hospitalized.“I think it’s pretty scary because she could have really hurt us, or even one of my friends,” Yovane said. He said he really didn’t know who he was dealing with behind the wheel, but that he knew he had to stop the woman in her tracks. So he decided to cut her off and got her to stop the car. ... “I’m proud of him for stopping her,” his mother, Annie Yovane, said.The incident brought back a terrible memory for Max’s mother.“My mother was killed by a drunk driver when I was 13, so it had a bit of an effect on us,” she said.
