A Massachusetts driver gave police an interesting excuse when she was arrested while driving the wrong way on a New Hampshire highway early Thursday morning, Aug. 31, New Hampshire State Police reported.
State Troopers saw a vehicle going north in the southbound lanes on I-93 in Salem, N.H., around 2:20 a.m., police said. Troopers stopped the driver, later identified as 26-year-old Vanessa Dubey, of Haverhill, as she passed the Exit 1 off-ramp.
The area that Dubey entered is unknown, according the department, and troopers were able catch her before anyone called 911. When she was stopped, Dubey told troopers that she was “following her GPS.”
Dubey was arrested and charged with reckless conduct, aggravated DWI, and reckless operation. She will be arraigned in Salem District Court later, state police said.
The incident remains under investigation. Anyone with information is asked to contact Trooper Benjamin M. Olmstead at (603) 223-4381 or Benjamin.M.Olmstead@dos.nh.gov.
