The driver of a silver Chevrolet Equinox was arrested on suspicion of DUI following a wrong-way crash on U.S. 101, according to the California Highway Patrol-Ventura.

According to an April 22 social media post, the Equinox was traveling south in the northbound lanes after entering the wrong way from an off ramp. The driver attempted a U-turn but was struck by a tractor-trailer.

The impact caused the Equinox to spin toward the median, triggering additional crashes as other vehicles swerved to avoid it.

No major injuries were reported.
