Instead, he sped away and drove south in the northbound lanes of U.S. Highway 401, where he collided head-on with a Honda driven by 31-year-old Thomas Nelson of Willow Spring, according to Sgt.

He was charged with DWI, driving while his license was revoked, speeding, reckless driving, having a fictitious license plate, not having insurance, failure to register his vehicle, driving the wrong way on a dual lane highway and felony speeding to elude arrest.
