ROCKLAND – A local man was arrested Wednesday morning for allegedly operating under the influence of alcohol.

The arrest followed a two-vehicle crash near the entrance to his driveway.

David Larby, 42, of Talbot Avenue was driving east on that street around 8 a.m. when he hit another vehicle head-on as he was turning his truck left into his own driveway.

He was taken to Penobscot Bay Medical Center in Rockport by police for a minor injury and for a blood alcohol test, Sgt. Jeffrey McLaughlin said, and then was arrested on a charge of OUI.

Alan Butler, 52, also of Talbot Avenue, was driving west in a 1999 Honda minivan when it was struck by Larby’s 1988 Ford Ranger. Butler also suffered injuries.

Butler and Larby were both treated at PenBay and then released, according to a hospital spokeswoman on Wednesday.

Larby’s vehicle was a total loss. Butler’s van sustained $5,000 in damage.

It was unknown if seat belts were worn, McLaughlin said, but there were no passengers. The accident was investigated by Officer Lloyd Daniels.
