Johnson County Sheriff’s deputies stopped a reported wrong-way driver on Interstate 80 after he allegedly drove over a dozen miles early Saturday morning.
The Johnson County Joint Emergency Communications Center received numerous calls about a 2022 Chevy Silverado driving westbound in the eastbound lanes of I-80 near Tiffin just after 2:30 Saturday morning. A deputy reports seeing the vehicle barely avoid a head-on collision.
The truck was finally stopped after deputies say it travelled 13 miles. The driver, identified as 32-year-old Tyler Telford on Lone Tree, reportedly showed signs of impairment. He refused breath testing.
Telford was booked into the Johnson County Jail just before 4:30am and charged with Operating While Intoxicated.
