        A man is facing charges for allegedly driving drunk, crashing his car and fleeing the scene Saturday night in Hampton Bays.
        Authorities say Efren Perez-Hilario was traveling on Old Riverhead Road when his vehicle veered off and struck a utility pole.
        He then left on foot without reporting the incident, according to authorities.
        Police received a call about the crash around 6:42 p.m. and responded to the scene.
        The 24-year-old East Hampton resident was arrested shortly after.
        Officers say they discovered his license had been revoked and his vehicle lacked the required ignition interlock device.
        The charges against Hilario include DWI, aggravated unlicensed operation of a vehicle, circumvention of an interlock device and several other traffic infractions.
