DPS identified the driver as 34-year-old Mark Saul Rock of Scottsdale.
No collision occurred during this wrong-way incident, but it comes just a day after a wrong-way driver caused a crash on I-17 in north Phoenix. In that case, the wrong-way driver was left in critical condition, and also suspected of impairment.
