A man was arrested Saturday after apparently driving drunk and flipping his car upside down on 18th Avenue.

Police officers witnessed a Blue 2003 Nissan Maxima recklessly driving down 18th Avenue at around 1pm, before it slammed into a parked vehicle, causing the moving car to flip over in front of the fire station at 8653 18th Avenue, according to the NYPD.

Miguel Vasquez — the driver — appeared to be under the influence of alcohol and was removed by EMS to Coney Island Hospital. Later, he was arrested and charged with DWI and Driving without a License, according to police.
