Traffic was diverted past the scene on the left shoulder.The initial crash occurred around 3 a.m.
Firefighters and paramedics said they could smell a"strong odor of an alcoholic beverage" coming from the driver of the car. UHP troopers conducted field sobriety tests, then arrested the man. He was identified as 43-year-old Aric Ham. He was taken to a local hospital and cleared, then booked in the Washington County Jail on one count of driving under the influence.
