A Washington State Patrol (WSP) trooper used their vehicle to stop a car going the wrong way on Interstate-90 (I-90). On Friday, WSP posted dashcam video of the incident.

In a post on X, Trooper Rick Johnson said the car was headed westbound on I-90 near West Lake Sammamish. The car was coming from Interstate-405 (I-405). The trooper used his cruiser to block the wrong-way driver and ended up crashing into the car, possibly preventing a more tragic outcome.
