Bradley Paul Graves

FAYETTEVILLE - Police charged a man with drunken driving after an SUV drove the wrong way on Interstate 95 for 20 miles before causing a tractor trailer to wreck.

Bradley Paul Graves, 37, of Lumber Bridge, also was charged with driving the wrong way after the accident that happened at 12:45 a.m. Thursday. Graves was listed in fair condition at Cape Fear Valley Medical Center.

The wreck closed the southbound lanes of the interstate until 1 p.m., said Highway Patrol Sgt. Joel Siles. A hazardous materials team was called to clean up the site and traffic was diverted onto nearby roads around the accident scene.

The tractor trailer overturned across the highway while trying to avoid the oncoming vehicle. The truck was loaded with 6,000 gallons of a flammable chemical that Siles said is used in making deodorant.

Another car wrecked when the truck swerved into it.
