A wrong-way driver was stopped by troopers late Sunday night along Loop 101 in the West Valley.
Arizona Department of Public Safety officials say troopers intercepted the wrong-way vehicle near Northern Avenue.
Video from the scene showed damage to the wrong-way vehicle and the trooper’s vehicle, which was used to stop the wrong-way driver.
Fortunately, no injuries were reported during the incident.
DPS says the driver entered the freeway at Olive Avenue and was traveling in the wrong direction for approximately three miles before being stopped.
A trooper struck the wrong-way vehicle and partially disabled it, however, the vehicle kept going.
A second trooper used a Precision Immobilization Technique (PIT) maneuver to ultimately stop it.
During the incident, four patrol vehicles sustained damage.
The driver, an elderly male, was taken to a hospital and admitted for evaluation and treatment of a medical condition.
The investigation is ongoing.
