A 16-year-old boy from Northampton has been accused of being intoxicated at the time of a recent crash in Middletown.
Police said they responded to the 1900 block of West Maple Avenue at 2:07 a.m. last Saturday after a report of a wreck near the intersection with Periwinkle Avenue was called in to 9-1-1. Upon arrival, an officer found a black Ford Mustang crashed into the garage portion of a residence.
