The 86-year-old Shalit told police on the scene that he fell asleep at the wheel.
He now faces a charge of driving to endanger.
Shalit was not injured in the collision.
He’s received a summons to appear before a clerk magistrate at a future date.
Shalit, who lives in nearby Stockbridge, served as the “Today Show” movie reviewer from 1973 until 2010.
