Both drivers were pronounced dead at the scene. Neither driver had passengers.
“At this point in time the investigation does look like we did have somebody that was going the wrong way,” said Lt. Matthew Cleaveland of the state patrol.
Several 911 calls were received before the crash from drivers reporting a wrong-way driver on the interstate, Cleaveland said.
It was unknown at press time whether alcohol or speed were factors in the crash.
