Columbia County Sheriff’s Office said the driver was on an extended road trip from Michigan to Minnesota and had tried to drive through the night on only an hour’s sleep.
In the footage, the driver is seen swerving into the wide grassy median of the I90/94 near Portage.
“Every year, thousands of crashes are caused by drivers who simply didn’t get enough rest,” the sheriff’s office warned. “Arriving late is better than not arriving at all. Please, make the safe choice – stay alert, stay rested, and keep our roads safe.”
The sheriff said the driver was not injured in the crash.
