Uhh, what's the RIGHT way to drive in a fatal crash?
He was driving the "wrong way" in more ways than one. I think the journalistito meant that he was on the wrong side of the road.
The intersection of 313, Roy and 4th street is a treacherous intersection (with 45-50 mph speed limits), especially if you are making a left turn off 313. Having a blind drunk in the mix doesn't help matters, either.
Here's the intersection in question:
