Macedonia -- Police cited a Deepwood Drive man for allegedly giving false information after the man called to report he had been in a traffic accident, but told police a car had struck his 2000 Dodge Caravan.
A police officer reported the man admitted he had provided false information after he told the man that his story did not match the evidence after examining the damage to the man's vehicle and the accident scene.
According to the report, the man told police around 11:45 p.m. that a car had struck the front of his vehicle earlier in the evening while the other car was making a turn westbound onto Highland Road from Route 8. That vehicle then left the scene, the man told police.
The patrolman said the man, after questioning, admitted the damage was caused when the Caravan struck a vehicle from behind while breaking.
Police cited him with providing false information, a first-degree misdemeanor, and failure to maintain an assured clear distance. The other vehicle could not be located, the report stated.
