Suspected Drunk Driver Accidentally Calls 911 During Strange Road Incident: ‘Idiot—‘

A suspected drunk driver has unwittingly called 911 after calling cops about a driver he mistakenly thought was going the wrong way on a Nebraska highway.

The video, released Thursday, includes audio of the unidentified drunk driver calling 911 and telling operators “someone is on the wrong side of” Interstate 77.

“It was on, man. It almost ran me off the road,” the driver is heard telling the operators. He repeatedly told the driver that the other car was apparently going the wrong way.

“It was appalling. It was a lot,” the driver said.

“Do you know why I stopped you?” asked the officer.

“While we have assigned additional traffic control deputies during this campaign, we are also trying to raise awareness of the dangerous crime of impaired driving through videos like this.
