A wrong-way driver had been pulled over by a state trooper before fleeing still heading southbound in the northbound lanes of I-94, near Highway 142, in Kenosha, Wisconsin and crashing head-on into a truck heading in the right direction. The driver of the truck struck by the fleeing driver died, and its passenger suffered serious injuries. The driver of the fleeing truck sustained injuries deemed life-threatening, and another passenger escaped with less serious injuries.
The suspect fled on foot after the crash and was arrested about two hours later near the Paragon Chateau movie theater in northeast Rochester, about 5 miles from the scene of the accident. Authorities believe the 57-year-old Rochester man was under the influence of alcohol, says Sgt. Dan Monnet. A 29-year-old woman and two juvenile passengers transported to Mayo Clinic Hospital-Saint Marys Campus for treatment; the extent of their injuries is unknown.
