The 51st Street entrance ramp was cluttered with debris Saturday night after a drunk driver flipped his truck.
Austin police shut down I-35 after a driver hit a taxi cab, lost control of his Ford Ranger, then ran into the grass, rolling the truck upside down.
"This is just one of the consequences when you drink and drive,” Sgt. Steven Rodriguez of the Austin Police Department said. “Several things can happen like being arrested, but the most common thing is that people get killed or other people get killed on the road. Like I said, this driver is very lucky to walk away from this accident with just minor injuries.”
The man was able to free himself from the car. Police arrested him for DWI.
