Police: Man created black ice to mask drunken driving crash
Published February 17, 2015Associated Press

SPARTA, N.J. – A man poured water onto a freezing road to try to fool officers into thinking the cause of his drunken car crash was black ice, police say.

Twenty-year-old Bryan Byers, of Sparta, was arrested Saturday and charged with drunken driving and other offenses.

Authorities say he hit a guardrail after running a stop sign in a BMW early that morning.

Shortly after the crash, police said, 20-year-old Alexander Zambenedetti, a friend of Byers’, showed up in his own car. The two men then dumped 5-gallon buckets of water onto the road to create black ice, police said.

…Authorities say Byers confessed to the plan. They noticed skid marks were visible under the thin layer of ice at the intersection.

Creative, I’ll grant, but yeah, the skid marks being under the ice were probably something of a give-away to their cunning plan.

    That’s not all bad. Years ago there was a guy who bashed his head with a grapefruit and yanked a couple of teeth to fake a car wreck.
