Briarcliff, NY : One person injured after a wrong-way crash on Route 9A in Briarcliff on Friday, February 27, 2015
Police report a second wrong-way accident in Westchester County on the same day a NYPD detective was killed in a similar crash.
Neil Prabhu, of Ossining, was charged with DWI after police say he crashed into another car while driving the wrong way on Route 9A in Briarcliff around 10:30 p.m. Friday.
Hours earlier, Det. Paul Duncan was killed on the Sprain Brook Parkway in Greenburgh when a car traveling the wrong way slammed into his head-on.

Police say Prabhu traveled the wrong way for about a mile and a half.
