State Trooper John Gadrow said a white Cadillac sedan went through the intersection of Harris Avenue and Winter Street, near the entrance of Cold Spring Park. It drove through the park’s wrought-iron fence, traveling about 60 feet through the air, then struck a tree and landed on its roof.

Gadrow said the car was traveling more than 60 mph in the 25-mph zone.

Fire and rescue workers at the scene said they saw Coyle sitting upside down in the driver’s seat, then crawling out of the driver’s side window. Rescue personnel say Coyle told them he was in the rear passenger seat at the time of the accident.

After he was arrested, he told investigators that he could not remember who had been driving.

When ordering Coyle to serve his suspended sentence, Superior Court Judge Gilbert V. Indeglia said there was “no doubt” that Coyle was driving at the time of the accident.

“There’s no way that anybody could have ever crawled around the vehicle, in the condition it was in, upside down,” he said.
