PHOENIX, AZ : Impairment suspected in wrong-way crash on I-17 on Monday, January 23rd 2017

Impairment is suspected in yet another wrong-way crash on one of the Valley’s freeways.

The wrong-way driver was in a black Jeep that went south for about 10 miles in the northbound lanes of Interstate 17 before he or she crashed into an oncoming car near Bell Road.

I actually passed the guy and then slowed down to let him pass me," witness Anthony Lamanna said. "Thirty seconds later, head-on collision and I thought, "That could've been us."

A second driver swerved out of the wrong-way vehicle’s path and crashed into a wall.

No serious injuries were reported but the suspect was taken to the hospital.

The Department of Public Safety has not identified the suspect.
