County.
It happened early sunday morning on i-65 near the 240 mile-marker near the lowell exit.
The driver was heading northbound in the southbound lanes of i-65.
This caused a vehicle to drive off th roadway to avoid a head-on collision, rolling over into a ditch.
Two other vehicles crashed into a center median as well.
The wrong-way vehicle eventually lost its front left tire and police were able to arrest the suspect.
The 19-year-old driver failed a sobriety test and was booked into the newton county jail for preliminary charges, including operating while intoxicated and illegal consumption, both misdemeanors.
A traffic alert to pass along as you plan out your week.
