Two times Indy 500 winner Al Unser Jr was arrested for being involved in a hit-and-run accident while driving drunk in Las Vegas, Nevada police said.
The American, son of Indy 500 legend Al Unser and himself winner of the prestigious race in 1992 and 1994, was picked up by the Nevada Highway Patrol on Thursday after he reportedly hit another car on the Las Vegas Beltway.
According to a police report, Unser Jr swiped the second car, forcing it to crash into a cement barrier. Neither Unser Jr nor the second driver were reported to be injured.
Unser Jr, the police said, did not stop at the scene and was picked up by the highway patrol, where he failed several sobriety tests.
He is charged with driving under influence, hit and run, failure to render aid in an accident, and failure to report an accident.
This is not the first time Unser Jr has had a brush in with alcohol. He had checked into a rehabilitation clinic in 2002 after his girlfriend filed a complaint against him, claiming he had hit her while drunk. No charges were filed against him at the time.
