"The correct-way driver is in stable but guarded condition due to the severity of the impact," Fitzpatrick told 1010 WINS' Carol D'Auria.
Suffice it to say, the impact was incredible. After they hit, Fitzpatrick said that both cars continued westbound for about 150 feet.
There is no word yet on whether this is a drunk-driving case, or what led the driver to enter the expressway going the wrong way.
