—Judgment unanimously affirmed. Memorandum: There is no merit to defendant’s contentions that his conviction of operating a motor vehicle while in an impaired condition and aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle in the first degree was not supported by legally sufficient evidence or was against the weight of the evidence (see, People v Bleakley, 69 NY2d 490, 495).
We also find no merit to defendant’s contention that Supreme Court erred in failing to suppress his statements to the police, the results of his physical performance tests, and evidence of his refusal to submit to a chemical test to determine his blood alcohol content, because the police violated his right to counsel. Defendant’s statements to the police occurred during the police investigation of the traffic accident before his arrest and were "designed to clarify the nature of the situation” (People v Huffman, 41 NY2d 29, 34). The record establishes that defendant’s statements were not the product of custodial interrogation because an innocent man would not have thought himself to have been in police custody at the time of the questioning (see, People v Yukl, 25 NY2d 585, cert denied 400 US 851; People v Mallory, 175 AD2d 623, lv denied 78 NY2d 1013; People v Gilyard, 145 AD2d 568; People v Centano, 153 AD2d 494, affd 76 NY2d 837). Because the interview of defendant was conducted in a non-custodial setting, his right to counsel attaches only if he unequivocally
We have reviewed defendant’s remaining contentions and find them to be without merit. (Appeal from Judgment of Supreme Court, Onondaga County, Gorman, J. — Aggravated Unlicensed Operation Motor Vehicle, 1st Degree.) Present— Callahan, J. P., Green, Balio, Lawton and Doerr, JJ.
