WEST MEMPHIS, Ark. — Raleigh May Cupples was driving across the I-55 bridge Tuesday when the vehicle in front of her changed lanes – and she saw a semi-truck driving in her direction.
The incident was reported Tuesday morning by KARK, with the flow of traffic stopped after a semi-truck drove down the wrong lane on the Memphis-Arkansas bridge.
.... Snip....
Arkansas State Police arrived on the scene. By this point, Raleigh said they were on the Tennessee side of the bridge. The trooper jumped the median with his weapon drawn, she said. She began recording video at this point. The trooper holstered his weapon, jumped down from the barrier, and went to the driver’s side of the cab.
From there, the officer opened the door and attempted to get the driver to exit the vehicle. Raleigh said the man refused. The trooper tried to pull the man out of the vehicle, but it appears in the video that the man resisted. A second trooper arrives with a rifle, and a third officer also shows up with a gun drawn. With multiple officers working together, they pull the man out of the vehicle and take him to the ground.
.... Snip....
No information has been released by authorities about the suspect, potential charges, or the incident thus far. Inmate rosters for both Crittenden County and Shelby County do not appear to show an arrest as of the publication of this report.
NEA Report has requested more information from the Arkansas State Police about the incident. It will be added to this story when received.

How much money did they get from the small business administration?
My company ships several dozen loads per week. Especially after Covid, 70% of calls from freight agents/brokers we receive soliciting business are South Asian. For the brokers especially, I doubt they are even based in the USA. They are coming from call centers in India.
Speaking with our warehouse guys, the number of South Asian drivers (and Africans also) has really shot up in the last 5 years. FJB’s marxist handlers flooded the entry-level job market in all areas.
The pattern is simple - one Indian gets to the USA. He may drive or get enough money to buy a rig. He then brings a cousin from his village to drive to live in the cab and work in indentured servitude, while he focuses on the next rig. Wash, rinse, repeat.

And the driver’s immigration status is......????
That bridge is what locals call the “old bridge”. Lanes are quite narrow. It’s surprising nobody was killed.
There are plans for a new “new bridge” because the current one really can’t handle today’s traffic.
Yep, we have 2 bridges for car traffic and the “new” bridge is no longer new. Hard to believe that he managed to drive across without killing someone the wrong way.
Indians are trying to achieve the Singhularity in the trucking industry.
Driving Wrong Way
Maybe thought had immigrated to Britain?
I was a little kid when the “new bridge” was constructed and I’m certainly not young.
There were huge potholes on the bridge last Memorial Day. Took my kid to see Arkansas State and on the way back hit a pothole on the bridge, destroying a tire.
Limped to the Tennessee welcome center and there were about 5 other people changing tires there.
I asked the security lady how many people had lost tires; she said they had 2-3 cars pull in every 10 minutes or so with blown tires.
Looks like something gay Pete made in South bend Indiana?.
The only time I cross the bridge is to go to the casino. Haven’t been over there for about 4 months now.
