The accident caused both cars to overturn. Two people received minor injuries in the crash.
Matthew A. Gionet of Main Street in Greenwich was arrested on a warrant by City Police on Tuesday charging him with two counts of third-degree assault and second-degree reckless endangerment, both misdemeanors, according to a statement from the city police.
Gionet was also issued two traffic tickets charging him with reckless driving and unreasonable speed. He was arraigned in City Court and released to reappear next month.
