A driver was hospitalized after a wrong-way crash on I-10, according to Florida Highway Patrol troopers. Troopers say 38-year-old Leslie Brenning of Jacksonville was westbound in the eastbound inside lane of I-10 around 2 a.m. Saturday.

State Police investigators have identified the pedestrian killed while walking on Interstate 10 in Metairie Wednesday morning (April 22) as Harry Daigle III, 34, of Metairie. Daigle was hit by a car on westbound I-10 just west of the Veterans Memorial Boulevard on-ramp, said Trooper Melissa Matey, spokesman for the department.
Initial reports stated that the accident occurred on the Veterans on-ramp. "He had already crossed the on-ramp and was walking in the right-hand lane," Matey said.
Eastbound Interstate 10 has been reopened after a deadly hit-and-run crash Monday night.
A pickup truck, driven by Randall Wayne Owens, 54, was speeding down the Ray Road ramp onto eastbound I-10 when the driver swerved to avoid a slow moving car, an Arizona Department of Public Safety spokesman said.
That maneuver somehow caused a woman, later identified as Celia Ester Owens, 44, riding in the truck who was not wearing a seat belt to be ejected, and she was struck by another pickup, the spokesman said.
One person died and another was in critical condition after a rollover crash early Wednesday on Interstate 10 in East Bexar County.
The wreck occurred when a man driving a pickup westbound just before 1 a.m. in the 13000 block of the highway tried to pass another vehicle, said a spokeswoman for the Bexar County Sheriff's Office.
In the process, the pickup rear-ended a trailer that was being towed by another pickup, police said.
The pickup without the trailer lost control and rolled over in the grassy median between the main lanes and the access road, Hughes said.
A 70-year-old man died Wednesday morning when his pickup collided with a big rig on Interstate 10 east of downtown.

Police said the man was driving a black Chevrolet pickup southbound in the 1500 block of Sakowitz when he crashed through a barrier and landed on the Lockwood exit ramp from the East Freeway. A big rig was traveling on the ramp and collided with the pickup.
The pickup driver, whose name has not been released, died at the scene.
