Police Arrest Wrong-Way Driver for DUI after Crash in Ventura

 
VENTURA, CA (May 10, 2023) Adrian Garcia was arrested for DUI after a wrong-way crash on 101 Freeway in Ventura early Sunday morning.
 
The crash happened just before 2:00 a.m. on May 7, near Telephone Road. According to the California Highway Patrol, the 22-year-old suspect from Ventura was driving a 2002 Mitsubishi Galant north on the southbound side of the freeway.
 
Officers attempted to forcibly stop the Mitsubishi, but Garcia continued to flee, even after being struck by a CHP vehicle.
 
A 1998 Toyota Avalon that was traveling southbound was forced to swerve off the road to avoid hitting them. It then went off the side of the road near the Telephone Road off-ramp. The driver suffered minor injuries.
 
The Mitsubishi continued to travel toward oncoming cars on the freeway. It then became disabled after Garcia attempted to turn through the center median.
 
A Ventura County Sheriff’s Office deputy responded to the area and took Garcia into custody.
 
Garcia was booked into the Ventura County Main Jail to await charges for driving under the influence of alcohol causing injury and other felony charges. He is being held on a $50,000 bail.
 
An investigation is underway.
