A dash camera captured the scary moments for a motorist early Wednesday morning on Interstate 435 in Overland Park as a wrong-way driver barreled down the interstate.
Around 3 a.m. Wednesday, KSHB 41 viewer Kurt Fisher told traffic anchor Daniela Leon he was driving westbound on I-435 between Quivira Road and U.S. 69 Highway when the dash camera in his car captured the driver of a car speeding the wrong way.
Overland Park police say the wrong-way driver eventually crashed head-on into another motorist on the highway.
The wrong-way driver, who was suspected of driving while intoxicated, sustained serious injuries from the crash and was transported to a nearby hospital, per police. The driver of the car that the wrong-way driver crashed into was hospitalized with minor injuries.
The highway was closed for several hours during the investigation. It was reopened to traffic just after 7 a.m.
