DWI arrest; Driver strikes guardrail, went up dirt embankment and struck a tree

PARSIPPANY — Multiple Parsippany-Troy Hills Police Officers responded to the area of Greenbank Road and Knoll Road for a motor vehicle crash and possible drunk driver at 9:56 p.m. on Saturday, May 13. Upon arrival of responding Officers, they made contact Dilbir Jassal, 35, East Orange.

He claimed that a white BMW sideswiped his vehicle and caused him to crash. Patrolman R. McGinnis spoke to a witness and investigated the crash. He determined that Mr. Jassal was traveling south on Greenbank Road in a 2008 Range Rover Sport, when it struck a guardrail, crossed over the northbound lanes, and went up a dirt embankment and struck a tree.

The vehicle then slid down the embankment and back onto the roadway where he then attempted to drive away, but could not due to damage to the vehicle.

After a brief investigation Mr. Jassal was placed under arrest for Driving While Intoxicated. He was transported back to Police Headquarters and processed. Patrol Officer Ryan Taylor charged Jassal with Driving While Intoxicated, Reckless Driving, Failure to Exhibit Documents (Registration), Failure to Exhibit Documents (Proof of Insurance), Failure to Maintain Lane, Destruction of Agriculture, DWI Refusal  and DWI Refusal Penalties

Mr. Jassal was released on his own recognizance into the custody of a sober adult pending his court date.

Editors Note: A criminal complaint is merely an accusation. Despite this accusation, the defendant is presumed innocent until he or she is proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.
