Authorities say a suspected drunken driver was arrested after allegedly going the wrong way on a Riverside County freeway ramp and crashing into a sheriff's transport van.
City News Service reports the driver, identified as 20-year-old Sergio Garcia of Fontana, suffered major injuries and was taken to a hospital following the collision early Monday.
