The Department of Public Safety says a wrong way driver was stopped in Phoenix early Sunday morning, just one day after a wrong way driver caused a crash on a freeway in Tempe.

According to a DPS spokesperson, troopers initially spotted the car heading the wrong direction on highway cameras and were attempting to locate the driver. 

Troopers continued to follow the wrong way driver on the cameras before stopping the car on Interstate 17 near Greenway Road. 

No injuries were reported and no additional information was provided.
