BOSTON (AP) — Police in Cambridge, Mass., gave state Sen. Anthony Galluccio a ride home because acquaintances told them he was too drunk to drive about 13 hours before he was involved in a hit-and-run accident last month.

A police report says officers were called to a gas station about 4:40 a.m. Oct. 4 after receiving a call about an intoxicated man.

The station attendant told police he believed Galluccio was too drunk to drive. Police say another man said he was trying to drive Galluccio home but couldn't find his house.

Police say they drove Galluccio home.

About 13 hours later, a vehicle driven by Galluccio rear-ended a minivan. Galluccio has said he fled because he panicked.

Galluccio declined to comment Monday, citing what he called an ongoing legal process.
