A 58-year-old man has been charged with impaired driving after police found him going the wrong way on the Red Hill Valley Parkway.

The man was driving around 3:30 a.m. Saturday and a police officer noticed him going onto an entrance ramp in the wrong direction.

That officer followed him, also going the wrong way, and another officer drove over the median to help corral him off to the side of the road, said Staff Sgt. John Canaris.

As the vehicles were stopping there was "minor contact" between the driver's car and a police cruiser.

It was a challenging maneuver because he was "really drunk" and not able to navigate his vehicle, Canaris alleged.

He said the man was driving that way for about 2 km.

Police said the man was found to have more than the legal limit of alcohol in his bloodstream.
