Former NBA star Jayson Williams was arrested on suspicion of DWI early this morning — after his SUV struck a tree in Manhattan around 3:15 AM.
Williams, whose vehicle careened into a tree just off the 20th Street exit of FDR Drive, was in the passenger seat of his black Mercedes when cops arrived on scene — but witnesses say he was driving and officers said no one else was in the car.
Jayson was taken to Bellevue Hospital with minor injuries. Williams is currently in the midst of a divorce and is awaiting retrial for the 2002 manslaughter shooting death of his driver.
