SHAWNEE COUNTY —Law enforcement authorities are investigating a Kansas woman after a wrong-way crash.
Just before 2:30 a.m. Sunday, the Shawnee County Emergency Communication Center received a report of a wrong way driver, a 2008 Nissan Altima, traveling westbound in the eastbound lanes of Interstate 470 near the SW Gage Boulevard exit, according to Deputy Abigail Christian.
Deputies responded and located the suspect vehicle just after it struck a 2013 GMC Terrain near the Interstate 70 interchange.
One of the three occupants of the GMC was extricated and transported to a local hospital by American Medical Response (AMR) with non-life-threatening injuries.
The driver and sole occupant of the Nissan identified as 25-year-old Myisha D. Holford of Topeka, was arrested and booked into the Shawnee County Department of Corrections on requested charges of driving under the influence, driving the wrong direction on a one-way highway and no vehicle liability insurance. The accident is still under investigation, according to Christian.
