BOSTON (AP) -- Police in Cambridge, Mass., gave state Sen. Anthony Galluccio a ride home because acquaintances told them he was too drunk to drive about 13 hours before he was involved in a hit-and-run accident.
Police were called to a gas station in Cambridge about 4:40 a.m. Oct. 4 after receiving a call about an intoxicated man.
The station attendant told police he believed Galluccio was too drunk to drive. Police said another man told them he was trying to drive Galluccio home but couldn't find his house.
Police said they drove Galluccio home in their cruiser.
About 13 hours later, a vehicle driven by Galluccio rear-ended a minivan. Galluccio has said he left the scene because he panicked.
