A man is facing a host of charges after he allegedly crashed a car drunk on I-84 while driving his friend's kids.

On Saturday, New York State Police from the East Fishkill barracks arrested 38-year-old Joey I. Rivera, of Bronx for driving while intoxicated with a previous conviction within 10 years, aggravated driving while intoxicated with a child less than 16, aggravated unlicensed operation, all felonies, operating a motor vehicle without an interlock device, unauthorized use of a vehicle, endangering the welfare of a child, reckless endangerment, unlawful possession of personal identification information, petit larceny and reckless driving, all misdemeanors.

Around 7 p.m., troopers investigated a motor vehicle crash on Interstate 84 in the town of Kent.

An investigation found that the driver, Rivera, was driving drunk with two backseat passengers under the age of sixteen years, one of whom was not properly restrained, driving a car without the owner's permission and driving with a suspended license due to a previous DWI conviction, police say.

According to State Police, Rivera was watching a friend's children.

The children were transported to the hospital and released to family shortly after in good health.
