Reality television star Renee Graziano said she is “lucky to be alive” after she flipped her vehicle while allegedly driving while intoxicated.
Photos emerged of the “Mob Wives” cast member leaving the police station in Staten Island Wednesday after she spent the previous night in detainment. Her Nissan Murano struck an unoccupied Jeep and rolled over.
In paparazzi snaps, Graziano, 52, is seen exiting the 123rd precinct in a gray camouflage star-patterned sweatsuit and smoking a cigarette, her long black hair draped over her crew neck.
Her white sneakers with silver eyelets were devoid of laces, which officers commonly remove during the intake process.
