COLUMBUS – Police say a Worthington woman was charged with drunk driving after driving the wrong way on State Route 315 on the Northwest Side early Tuesday.
Police were alerted to a wrong-way driver in the southbound lanes of the freeway near Henderson Road at 1:01 a.m., according to a post on the division’s Twitter feed.
Freeway patrol officers were able to safely stop the 26-year-old woman before an accident occurred.
On the video, shot by a patrol officer’s cruiser dashboard-mounted camera, the car is seen weaving across two travel lanes as the driver appears to talk on her cell phone before a cruiser heads her off near the median barrier wall and a police van blocks her in.
The woman was charged with driving under the influence.
