Video Shows Wrong-Way Driver Before Deadly Crash

Video released by the Department of Public Safety on Thursday shows a wrong-way driver moments before a fatal crash that claimed two lives. The nearly two-minute video compiled from multiple cameras around Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport shows the red sedan as it weaves through the airport roadways.

The video tracks the car as it heads into a parking structure, then out of the structure, and finally though the arm of a parking barrier.

It was soon soon after that the sedan drove the wrong way on to eastbound I-10 and then onto State Route 51 where it collided with a white sedan.

Both drivers were killed.

The wrong-way driver has not yet been named nor have authorities said what might have sent him traveling the wrong way.

The driver of the white sedan has been identified as 54-year-old Young Lee of Phoenix.

The video of the red sedan can be seen here.

On Wednesday, Governor Ducey - prompted by the crash - called for swift action to get thermal cameras installed as quickly as possible.

"The state must also take action to more seriously address the issue of wrong-way driving," Ducey said Wednesday. "I have specifically ordered that the planned launch of thermal camera detection technology be expedited.

"I want those cameras implemented as quickly as possible, and expanded to as many areas as possible where they may make a difference and save a life."

Ducey says the state needs to take immediate actions to increase enforcement and public awareness. (Subscribe to local news alerts on Patch).

The plan had been to start installing thermal cameras that would notify drivers and law enforcement officers of wrong-way drivers.
