Several drivers called 911 to report a vehicle traveling eastbound in the westbound lanes. The car then collided with an oncoming semi. Anthony Steves of Eau Claire was arrested for operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated, and driving the wrong way on a divided highway. Other charges may be filed pending the outcome of the investigation.
