PHOENIX — A semi-truck driver is accused of driving the wrong-way on I-10 at 27th Street while under the influence, according to the Arizona Department of Public Safety (DPS).
Around 3 a.m. on August 9, DPS received a call that there was a driver traveling eastbound in the westbound lane of I-10 at 27th Street.
