Hit-and-Run Suspect Arrested

Incident marks suspect's third alleged OUI offense

Police in Wareham, Massachusetts, arrested an intoxicated driver after he sideswiped a car, Thursday night.

34-year-old Joal Cordoza was driving under the influence when he struck the car on Sandwhich Road, police say.

Cardoza fled the scene, but police were able to pull him over a little ways down the road.

While responding to the scene, an officer noticed a pick-up truck stopped on Main Street in the area of Center Street with two flat tires and obvious damage.

Further investigation determined the vehicle was involved in the accident.

A passenger riding with Cardoza, Kelvin Andrews, was also intoxicated and had a bottle of vodka in hand.

The incident marks Cardoza's third alleged OUI offense.

The victim, a 23-year-old female from Randolph, was transported to Tobey Hospital for treatment.
