Wrong-way driver on Dallas North Tollway faces criminal charges

A 39-year-old man traveling the wrong way on the Dallas North Tollway this morning is facing criminal charges.

The driver, a man named Dick Eastin, was driving north in a southbound lane in a Ford F-150 pickup. Eastin struck a light pole, coming to a stop near the center median. He sustained non-life threatening injuries.

Debris from the accident caused damage to a second vehicle on the Tollway. The accident caused the southbound side of the Tollway to be closed for over an hour.

Eastin is facing charges of reckless driving and driving while intoxicated.

Wrong-way drivers on the Dallas North Tollway have caused several deaths this year, prompting the North Texas Tollway Authority to take steps to prevent further accidents.
