He did not play his cards right.
Police arrested a guy who left his identification card at the scene of a crash he allegedly fled on March 26.
A Fire Department ambulance found the guy asleep in his car on Ocean Parkway near Avenue X at 5 am, police said. He reeked of booze and appeared to be drunk, so a medic took his driver’s license and called police, officials said.
The man waited a few minutes and then allegedly sped off, hitting the ambulance in the process, police said.
Cops caught up with him two hours later at the Avenue N address listed on his driver’s license, law enforcement sources said.
Officials are charging the man with driving while intoxicated and leaving the scene of an accident.
