Driving through traffic, but the wrong way. Witnesses were stunned as a driver veered into oncoming traffic on Del Prado Boulevard. Despite clear "Do Not Enter" signs, the confused driver attempted a dangerous turn beneath the Veterans Parkway overpass. Local residents, including Matthew Moore, who filmed the incident back on March 13, were left in disbelief, shouting in surprise.
"What is going on here?" Moore said as the car kept proceeding forward as cars tried to head west to get onto the Veteran's Parkway overpass.
In the video, you can see the SUV almost causing several crashes as cars make a left turn off Del Prado Boulevard to find the confused driver facing the opposite way in their lane.
Leandro Gomez, who works nearby, expressed frustration, saying such confusion is all too common in the area.
"How do you not realize you're driving into oncoming traffic?” he said. The bizarre event highlights the need for vigilance and adherence to road signs, even in familiar areas.
Fortunately, no accidents occurred, but the incident serves as a reminder for drivers to stay alert at all times.
