An out-of-state driver has been charged with several motor vehicle violations as well as drug offenses following an accident in Brick Dec. 7 in which a vehicle crashed into a home and several other objects, police said.<\/p>\n

Officers were called the area of Beacon Avenue and Round Avenue for a report of a motor vehicle crash at 1:21 a.m. that night, Ptl. Victoria Finnelli said in a statement. A caller told dispatch that a residence had been struck by a vehicle.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The two residences did sustain structural damage and were inspected by the Township Building Department and Fire Department, said Finelli.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Wang \u201cappeared to be delirious and acting erratically,\u201d the statement said. \u201cWang was believed to be under the influence of a controlled dangerous substance.\u201d<\/p>\n

As the investigation continued, Ptl Scott Smith and his K9 partner Echo arrived to the scene. Echo, Finelli said, indicated on the vehicle and Smith located a bag containing approximately four ounces of Ketamine as well as drug paraphernalia.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
