Selma, N.C. — Troopers charged a 34-year-old man with impaired and reckless driving Sunday morning after he drove an SUV the wrong way on Interstate 95 and crashed into a tractor-trailer, authorities said.
Aurturo Cristino was driving south in the northbound lanes of I-95 near the the Johnston-Wilson County line around 4 a.m. Sunday, said Trooper Sinch.
Cristino's SUV hit a tractor-trailer head on near Exit 97 and the tractor part of the truck burned to the ground, Sinch said.
The truck driver survived. Cristino suffered minor injuries and was being treated at Johnston County Medical Center. Southbound lanes of I-95 were closed while crews cleared the scene.

Actually, I went to work. I have better things to do than sit around and refresh this page all day long, just so I can throw out insults and spread hate.

So tell me this. If it has nothing to do with that, or at least the hispanic culture, then explain to me why they are three times more likely to drive drunk? Just curious how you're going to explain that. All but ONE of the serious wrecks I've seen involving drunk drivers have been hispanics driving drunk, then killing someone. All but one in the past few years. How do you explain that?
