A man driving against traffic on State Route 347, collided with another car Thursday night. Maricopa Police received several calls of a small truck driving erratically on the 347 from Smith-Enke Road to just north of the Rancho El Dorado subdivision, according to Maricopa Fire spokesman Brad Pitassi. However, before police were able to track down the suspect, he collided with a Dodge Neon. The driver of the truck, a man in his early 20s, received minor injuries and was transported to Chandler Regional Hospital for treatment. The driver of the Neon, a man in his mid-20s, was treated on scene and released. “Both men were very fortunate to not have received more serious injuries,” Pitassi said. The driver of the truck is being investigated by the Department of Public Safety for a possible DUI citation. |
