Suspected DUI driver causes wrong-way crash on 215 Beltway off-ramp, troopers say

A wrong-way driver suspected of being impaired caused a three-vehicle crash on a 215 Beltway off-ramp late Friday night, according to the Nevada Highway Patrol.

In a text message Saturday, Trooper Shawn Haggstrom said the crash happened just before 12 a.m. after a white Nissan SUV traveled the wrong way up the 215 off-ramp at West Sunset Road in Las Vegas.

The driver of the SUV was arrested at the scene on suspicion of driving while impaired. As a result of the crash, one person was taken to an area hospital with minor injuries, Haggstrom said in the text.
