Wrong way driver in Virginia Beach causes two accidents


Posted on Jun 25, 2009

In the early morning hours on Tuesday a man heading the wrong way in a 1992 Lexus along Interstate 264 caused two car crashes before being arrested for suspicion of drunk driving.

 

The man, 44 year old Cleveland N. Robertson, entered I-264 near Laskin Road and headed westbound on the eastbound lanes of the interstate.  Frantic drivers called 911 to report his behavior, but it wasn’t enough to avoid two crashes.

 

Robertson first hit a Chevy Malibu containing three teenagers, two of which had to be taken to the emergency room to be treated for their injuries.  Neither sustained life-threatening injury.

 

After hitting the Malibu, Robertson went on to crash head-on into a Virginia State Police car, slightly injuring the driver Trooper L.C. White.  After hitting the police car Robertson continued on in his Lexus, but stopped about 100 yards from where he hit White.

 

White was able to approach Robertson’s car on foot and arrest him.  Robertson was taken to Virginia Beach City Jail and charged with driving under the influence, two counts of felony hit and run and driving the wrong way.
