For nearly three miles, a man drove the wrong way on a busy Bucks County, Pennsylvania roadway before causing a chain-reaction crash that sent six people to the hospital. The entire ordeal was caught on video.
"I was absolutely stunned and unsure what I should do," said Giuliano Damiano. He was driving south along U.S. 1 in Middletown Township around 8:30 p.m. Sunday when he noticed a black car driving next to him on the northbound.
The car sped down the left lane on the roadway's northbound side careening head-on at unsuspecting drivers for more than three minutes, Damiano said.
Drivers laid on their horns trying to avoid a crash. Damiano said he honked too warning drivers about the danger coming at them. Within moments, the black car rammed into three other vehicles.
"I could foresee about eight cars coming in his direction around a blinding curve just as he approached Flowers Mills, where he crashed," the man said. He also recorded the incident and shared the video with us through the NBC10 app.
Six people were taken to St. Mary's Hospital for treatment. Conditions have not been released. Police said the most seriously injured was the wrong way driver.
Middletown Township Police Chief Joseph Bartorilla said investigators believe the man was under the influence at the time of the crash.
