Police believe alcohol was a factor in an overnight, wrong-way truck crash on the Glenn Jackson Bridge in Portland, Oregon.
Police reported dispatchers began getting calls about a wrong-way truck driver on Interstate 84 at approximately 4:00 am on Monday.
49-year-old Kenneth Eugene Burgess traveled for several miles, with police in pursuit,  before crashing head-on into an oncoming car driven by 24-year-old Katherine Emerson.
“The sheriff’s office began pursuing the truck, which continued on to the I-205 bridge northbound in the southbound lanes,” Sgt. Pete Simpson with the Portland Police Bureau told KGW.
The crash totaled Emerson’s vehicle and damaged the truck and a police car. Â Emerson was taken to the hospital and was later released. Burgess was treated at the scene, then arrested and charged with DWI, criminal mischief and reckless driving. Â His bail was set at $10,000.
