PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) — A 41-year-old man is accused of being impaired after go the wrong way on I-95 and crashing almost head-on into another car in Tinicum Township Monday afternoon.
Pennsylvania State Police have charged Anthony Colabove with DUI. The incident caused 95 northbound at Route 420 to close around 3.30 p.m.

Philadelphia police say it all started at the Philadelphia International Airport. Colabove was driving a black Ford pickup truck on the departure road, and police blew the horn at him. The truck then jumped the median, hit two cars and continued onto 95 northbound heading south.
The truck was speeding on the shoulder southbound when it collided, almost head-on, with a car going north near the route 420 interchange.
Better news for 95NB in Delco. 95 proper is open but if you are in the outer driver or on 420 you CAN NOT get onto 95NB as of right now. pic.twitter.com/wwIcCzNget
