TUMWATER, Wash. (AP) — The State Patrol says an Orting man drove six miles in the wrong direction on Interstate 5 before he was killed when he crashed head-on with a semi.
The Patrol identified the man as 24-year-old Garrett M. Felt. Investigators say he nearly collided with several other vehicles including a police cruiser while driving southbound in the northbound lanes in Pierce County early Sunday.
Felt was not wearing a seatbelt, and investigators say they don’t know if drugs or alcohol played a role. The semi-truck driver was not injured.
