Driver travels on wrong side of I-80 for 40 miles

Check out this story in the Kearny Hub. Last week when Jeff's sister and brother-in-law were driving out to visit us, the saw a strange "high-speed chase" on I-80. They were not sure what was going on, but clearly there was a major police presence. When they got home, they found this story- follow the link, it is a funny read. An 88 year-old man was driving into oncoming traffic in the fast lane on interstate 80 for 40 MILES! The quotes from the story are hilarious- "As state troopers tried frantically to get him to pull over, he smiled and waved at them, ignoring the spotlight they shone into his minivan and twice driving over stop sticks that flattened his tires. "
What a crazy experience! The best part is that no one was hurt at all- how lucky!!
