WEST DENNIS — Police arrested Christopher Capachione, 51, of West Yarmouth on Friday night on a charge of driving under the influence, third offense, after a one-car crash at Loring Avenue and Pond Street.

Capachione was treated at the scene for minor injuries, and he declined to be taken to the hospital, according to a release issued Saturday by the Dennis Police Department.

The crash occurred just before 10:30 p.m. as Capachione drove a 2001 Ford Explorer west on Pond Street at a high rate of speed, according to the police. Capachione did not stop for a stop sign at the Loring Avenue intersection, and his SUV went airborne as it crossed Loring Avenue and then struck a tree, police said. The top of the tree was snapped off by the force of the crash, and secondary power lines for 17 Loring Ave. fell down. A fence at 23 Loring Ave. was damaged as well, police said.

The roadways in the area of the crash were closed for about 2 hours because of the downed power lines, police said.

Capachione also faces charges of driving to endanger, speeding and failure to stop for a stop sign.
