Schmidt says the wrong-way driver was heading Fort-Erie-bound in the Toronto-bound lanes prior to the crash, which happened at about 6:40 p.m.
“The vehicle was travelling relatively slowly,” adds Schmidt, “but obviously heading straight into traffic.”
He says the 45-year-old Wellandport woman has been charged with impaired driving, dangerous driving and having open alcohol in the vehicle.
