King County DUI Lawyers: Alleged drunk driver drives on 3 tires for over 10 miles

A suspected drunk driver managed to drive over 10 miles while missing a tire on I-5 Sunday morning.

It was just before 11 a.m. when the driver of a Chevy pickup truck struck a barrier in the northbound lanes of the freeway in Pierce County, said State Patrol spokesperson Julie Startup.

Soon after, witnesses in Federal Way reported the truck was driving at high speeds while missing a front tire. A trooper saw the truck being driven erratically and could see "there was something wrong with the front end because of the angle that the truck was driving" and pulled the truck over at the South 200th Street exit, Startup said.

While being stopped, the truck pulled onto the shoulder on the exit ramp to South 200th but abruptly accelerated and drove to a gas station on Military Road, Startup said.

The driver was stopped again and placed under arrest for suspicion of DUI. The right side of the pickup had recent damage and the right front tire was completely ground down to the lug nuts.
