A Gloucester, Massachusetts, police officer is expected to recover after getting seriously injured when his cruiser was struck head-on by an allegedly drunken driver.
Chief Leonard Campanello says Officer Kevin Muise suffered neck injuries in the crash early Saturday morning.
The driver of the other vehicle was identified as 39-year-old Joseph Loiacano. He is scheduled to be arraigned Monday on charges including operating under the influence of alcohol, third offense and reckless operation of a motor vehicle.
Police say Loiacano had a strong odor of alcohol coming from his breath and was uncooperative with authorities.
A cab driver told police he saw Loiacano driving at a high rate of speed on the wrong side of the road shortly before the crash.
