Franklin, TN – Early this morning, an alert patrol supervisor intercepted an impaired driver, and quite possibly prevented a tragedy. At approximately 3:00am, an on-duty sergeant noticed a truck enter the wrong way on the northbound exit ramp from I-65 to McEwen Drive. The driver, 35-year-old Christopher Unck of California, traveled down the ramp and proceeded south in the northbound lanes of I-65. Making the situation even more dangerous: Unck’s headlights were off. He disregarded the sergeant’s lights and siren, traveling the wrong way on the Interstate for approximately one mile before finally pulling over.

Impaired driving related crashes constitute one of the nation’s leading health problems. Impairment is a factor in 33% of all crashes in the United States and these events result in more deaths a year than homicides.
