Darrel N. Gatewood, 43, of the 8900 block of Knight Avenue in Des Plaines, was charged with driving under the influence, and cited for failure to reduce speed to avoid an accident and operating a vehicle without proof of insurance, according to a statement from Niles police.
Police responded to a multi-vehicle crash in the 8500 block of Milwaukee Avenue at 4:10 a.m. Sunday. Officers discovered a 2006 Volkswagen, driven by Gatewood, had hit six parked cars while headed northbound on Milwaukee Avenue, authorities said.
The Volkswagen was found overturned in the road, police said. Gatewood refused medical attention at the scene and was subsequently arrested, according to police.
No one was injured in the crash, said Niles Sgt. Robert Tornabene. Officers briefly closed Milwaukee Avenue while officials conducted an investigation of the crash, police said.
Gatewood is due in court Nov. 3 in Skokie.
