SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — Two children and two adults were killed Saturday after a person drove the wrong way on Interstate 80 in the Sierra Nevada, authorities said.

A witness called 911 near 5 a.m. to report a wrong-way driver. The crash involving three vehicles happened minutes later near Eagle Lakes Road in Sierra County, the California Highway Patrol reported.

A baby who was being held in the arms of an adult survived and was airlifted to a Nevada hospital, KCRA-TV reported.

The crash involved three vehicles, but all four people who died, including two children under 10-year-old, were riding together.

We’ve had two of those on I-20 in Texas the past few days. One hit a bus that was transporting a high school band to a playoff game.

Exactly. Unless you tell me that it was not a drunk illegal immigrant, it is what is assumed knowing the corrupt MSM. Or else the corrupt MSM will say something like, Hector Luis Rodriguez from Sacremento... when in fact he a Biden crosser from Juarez, Mexico squatting in Sacramento.

There was an old story about an announcement on TV that somebody was driving the wrong way on the urban expressway, and the worried wife of one of the commuters that used that route to return home called him on the cell phone. She informed him that here was a vehicle going the wrong way, and he replied, “No there are HUNDREDS going the wrong way!”

In that rugged area, the east and west bound lanes of I80 are widely separated. Lights only at the exits. If you’re impaired, it would not be not be difficult, once you managed to get on going the wrong way, to not recognize that you’re in the wrong set of lanes
