a first time for everything, two impaired drivers crash INTO each other. Drugs and alcohol apparently are magnetic, although they don't mix well.

LIVINGSTON — An Albany man driving his car while high on drugs called cops on a drunken driver who side-swiped his car and drove away, State Police said.

The bizarre hit-and-run — which led to the arrests of both drivers — occurred Wednesday on the Taconic State Parkway. There, troopers said, Thomas Robbins struck the side of Malcom Sidbury's car as Robbins tried to pass him.

Robbins sped off and Sidbury called the cops, troopers said.

Both cars were soon found on nearby State Route 82, troopers said.

Several streets were closed late Wednesday afternoon. St. Paul and Charles are major thoroughfares that are generally crowded during both the morning and evening commutes. The neighborhood is largely residential rowhouses. Traffic was reported to be snarled in the area of the collapse and downtown.

Brennan said no houses were damaged, but fire officials said many residents living along East 26th Street were ordered to leave until building inspectors can assess their properties.

Photographs show a wide area of destruction in what appears to have been a landslide. The railroad tracks are covered with water, dirt and more than a half-dozen cars that went down the embankment. Baltimore officials said CSX has suspended rail service through the city.
