A Brick Township man was arrested for driving while intoxicated following an accident in which he struck several signs and other roadway features with his car.
Michael Marsh, 38, of Brick, was traveling eastbound on Route 37 at 12:45 a.m. Tuesday when he attempted to make a right turn onto St. Catherine Boulevard to travel south.
