Jets rookie tight end Chris Herndon was arrested for driving while intoxicated early Saturday after crashing into another vehicle in Rockaway Township, a New Jersey State Police spokesman confirmed to NJ Advance Media.
The arrest happened at 4:45 a.m., and Herndon was handcuffed and taken away from the scene on Interstate 80 westbound, said Sgt. Lawrence Peele.
Herndon, 22, allegedly crashed his Nissan Armada SUV into a Toyota Land Cruiser SUV driven by Albert Elliott, 76, of Manalapan.
Peele said an official police report was unavailable for public release at this time, since it is still being finalized.
