Maine man, 70, arrested Friday driving wrong way on I-95 in Greenland
Mar. 22—A 70-year-old Maine man was arrested Friday after driving the wrong way while intoxicated on Interstate 95 in Greenland, leading to a police pursuit that ended with a minor collision, authorities allege. New Hampshire State Police responded to reports of an erratic driver traveling northbound at the Hampton Toll Plaza around 11:10 a.m. The driver crossed the center median and continued northbound in the southbound lanes, officials said. Troopers attempted to stop the 2019 Jeep Cherokee using tire deflation devices and strategic cruiser positioning, but the driver evaded these efforts while continuing at reduced speed against traffic in the breakdown lane. The pursuit ended when a state trooper used his cruiser to stop the vehicle after other tactics failed, state police said. Before stopping, the Jeep swerved and collided with two uninvolved vehicles at low speed. No injuries were reported. The driver, identified as Robert Cresta of Kittery, Maine, was taken to Portsmouth Regional Hospital as a precaution. He faces charges including aggravated driving while intoxicated, reckless conduct and possession of a controlled drug, according to police. Cresta was released on bail with a court appearance scheduled for April 9. The incident interrupted southbound traffic for approximately 10 minutes. Police are asking witnesses to contact authorities.
