“He was drinking, and I believe that’s why he was sent home,’ a source said.
“Everyone saw the state he was in. When he crashed, it got really quiet.”
Cuomo actually pulled up next to another one of his friends, who was inside a 1967 Pontiac LeMans, according to the second source.
The two cars never even moved, according to one source, but Cuomo accidentally bumped into a Mercedes SUV as he turned around to leave.
Cuomo broke his own radiator in the crash, the second source told Page Six, and ended up driving home in case the engine failed.
The Mercedes was left with a dent and Cuomo knew who it belonged to, the friend said.
A rep for Cuomo contacted by Page Six didn’t comment.
Fredo can be seen in his car in 2015.
