Suspected drunk driver 'almost struck' Kamala Harris motorcade

Source: BBC

A suspected drunk driver "almost struck" Vice-President Kamala Harris's motorcade after driving the wrong way down a highway in Milwaukee on Monday.

When police stopped the suspect's vehicle, officers found an open can of beer in his vehicle, according to the arrest report obtained by a local radio station.

After a field sobriety test, the unnamed 55-year-old driver was taken into custody for driving under the influence.

Harris, the Democratic presidential nominee, was in Wisconsin for a campaign event alongside former Republican lawmaker Liz Cheney in the town of Brookfield.

According to the Milwaukee County Sheriff's office, the incident took place shortly before 20:30 local time (01:30 GMT) when officers saw a man in an SUV travelling westbound in the eastbound lane of Interstate 94.

The driver was stopped as he approached the vice-president's motorcade.

I may be wrong, but I only saw it mentioned on NBC's website saying a wrong-way driver was on the same side of the freeway as Kamala's motorcade.
