A driver traveling the wrong way through the Hampton Roads Bridge-Tunnel has been charged with driving under the influence (DUI). The driver, 21 year old Charon Spruce, made it ten miles while traveling east on the westbound lanes of I-64. Eight people called 911 to report her activities.
Spruce entered I-64 the wrong way at mile marker 251 which is the Hampton Roads Center Parkway. Over those ten miles, Spruce, who was driving a 2002 Ford Escape with the headlights off, managed to cause three separate motor vehicle accidents by hitting four cars. One crash resulted in injuries.
According to police, when Spruce was stopped she was riding on her rims with a deployed airbag. Police stated that until her airbag deployed Spruce was unaware that she had caused several accidents.
Spruce, a senior at Hampton University, had apparently been drinking at a club in Hampton Roads before the accidents. At the time of the crash she was trying to drive to Portsmouth to visit her sorority sisters.
Police have charged Spruce with reckless driving, felony hit-and-run and driving under the influence of alcohol. She was held in Hampton City jail after the accident.
