A car accident on Sunday led to the arrest of Bristol County man.

According to Sgt. James Casey, at approximately 3:14 p.m., Ptlm. Christopher Pezzuolo, Ptlm. Louis DiBacco and Sgt. Brian Ramos responded to 537 Winthrop Street for a report of a motor vehicle crash.

Upon arrival, officers learned that a gold Ford pickup truck towing a fifth wheel camper rear ended a Dodge Durango.

During the investigation of the crash, Ptlm. Pezzuolo noticed that the operator of the Ford pickup, 46-year-old Brian Pierce of King Philip Drive in Norton, showed signs and symptoms of impairment due to the consumption of alcohol.

Pierce was released on $540.00 bail and is due to appear in Taunton District Court Monday morning for arraignment on the charges of Operating under the influence of alcohol 3rd offense, Negligent operator of a motor vehicle, and operating an unregistered motor vehicle.
