PITTSBURGH (AP) - Pittsburgh police say a man was drunk when he drove the wrong way into the Fort Pitt Tunnel and hit an empty ambulance, closing the tunnel for several hours.

Police have identified the 27-year-old driver, but The Associated Press is not revealing his name because charges have yet to be filed.

The crash happened 2 a.m. Thursday in the outbound tunnel on the other side of Mount Washington. The ambulance wasn’t carrying a patient and the crew was not hurt.



The driver of the car was taken to Allegheny General Hospital with minor injuries.
