Dramatic photos show the scene after reality TV star Renee Graziano was arrested for crashing and turning her car while allegedly high on Adderall.
The 52-year-old Mob Wives star, who reportedly battled depression and substance abuse, told police she took Adderall on Tuesday, it said.
The crash occurred at 10:19 p.m. at the intersection of Arden Avenue and Arthur Kill Road on Staten Island.
Graziano was driving a 2020 Nissan Murano with New Jersey license plates and came across an unoccupied 2020 Jeep Wrangler. Her car ended up on the south side of Arthur Kill Road.
She got out of the driver’s seat when police arrived, sources said. She was supposedly incoherent, with watery eyes and slurred speech.

According to Fox News, Graziano is said to have addressed the “bad car accident” on Wednesday in an Instagram post that has now been deleted.
‘I WAS TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL AS A PRECAUTION, there I was tested and treated, GRATEFUL TO BE LIVE !!’ read the caption.
‘Everyone did their job .. I HAVE BANGED MY HEAD BUT NO PHYSICAL DAMAGE INTO MY HEAD OR BODY.’
“No matter how difficult or unsafe it may look to you. I face myself every day and I’ve been through enough in my life, ”she added.
Graziano said she passed the test “without hesitation” and thanked the first responders and medics who have helped her.

The disheveled star was pulled on a cigarette outside the 123rd Ward on the south coast of Staten Island on Wednesday after being arrested the night before.
On Wednesday morning, she wore a gray camouflage and star print tracksuit and white sneakers while lighting a cigarette before pulling away in a waiting car.
She then stopped at a local deli, where she carried two Louis Vuitton designer bags to another car that was collecting her. Renee wore her eye-catching black-rimmed glasses and used the ATM in the deli to withdraw a wad of cash.

Her sister Jenn Graziano told Page Six that her sister was “fine” and that she was recovering from the accident.
“As far as I know, the charges were dropped and therefore no judge,” 48-year-old Jenn said Thursday. “She is fine, but the car is most likely a total write-off.”

Graziano is the daughter of Anthony Graziano, a former consigliere of the Bonanno criminal family.
She rose to fame on the reality show Mob Wives and finished third on Celebrity Big Brother in 2016.
Graziano’s sister Jennifer created and produced the reality show that led to an estrangement between Anthony and his daughters.
In the meantime, however, they are said to have reconciled.
Her ex-husband Hector Pagan Jr. is also a former employee of the Bonnano criminal family and became an informant.

The series ended shortly after the death of Graziano’s co-star Angela ‘Big Ang’ Raiola, who died of cancer on February 18, 2016 at the age of 55.
In the same year Graziano is said to have gone into rehab for depression.
“She’s back in Florida,” Jenn said at the time. “She’s getting treatment for her depression and some things that she needs to sort out.”
“She has been struggling with depression for a while and this type of treatment goes a little deeper than what she has done in the past.
“So I hope she stays as long as she needs,” added her sister.
