Drunk driver arrested after going wrong way on I-93

BOSTON -- A drunk driver was arrested early Friday morning after driving nearly 17 miles the wrong way on I-93 Southbound.

Norwood resident Siobhan Hayes, 21, is being held on $5,000 cash bail after driving the wrong way on I-93 at speeds in excess of 100 mph with a blood-alcohol level of .165.

Police said that Hayes drove from Hanover all the way to Dorchester in her 1998 Chevrolet Malibu before her tires blew out from police stop sticks.

The driver then fled her vehicle, and was later found by state troopers hiding near the Neponset River.

Hayes faces multiple charges and will be arraigned in Dorchester District Court on Friday.
