COMMACK, NY - A Smithtown man was arrested for drunk driving after he crashed his luxury car on Veterans Memorial Highway in Commack early Thursday, Suffolk Police said.

According to police, 34-year-old Brendan Sarsfield was driving a 2016 BMW i8 at a "high rate of speed" when he lost control of the car and crashed near the intersection of Jericho Turnpike at about 2:45 a.m. The BMW reportedly flipped multiple times.

Sarsfield was able to free himself from the car. The Commack Volunteer Ambulance Corps transported him to Stony Brook University Hospital to be treated for minor injuries.

Sarsfield was later arrested and charged with DWI, police said. He was arraigned in First District Court in Central Islip Thursday and released on his own recognizance. He is due back in court on Sept. 26. In a post on its Facebook page regarding the crash, the Commack Volunteer Ambulance Corps wrote: "We implore you that should you decide to drink, PLEASE DO NOT DRIVE HOME. Call a taxi or a friend to drive you home. The driver was extremely lucky that he was not seriously injured or killed nor seriously injured or killed anybody else."
