A Staten Island man who made a U-turn on the Belt Parkway, driving against traffic, has been arrested after a three-car crash that injured 10 people, including him, the NYPD said Tuesday.

Henry Brimsley, 30, of Holland Avenue, was charged with first-degree and second-degree reckless endangerment, aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle and speeding, police said. Arraignment details were not available.
