'Obviously, Don't Do This': Video Shows Driver Reversing on Busy Interstate After Missing Exit
The driver reversed on the I-270 bridge at the U.S. 33 split after missing an exit, with no crash reported, officials said.
- A traffic camera in Columbus captured a car reversing on Interstate 270 on Thursday morning. Video from ODOT shows the vehicle moving backward in the right lane near the U.S. 33 split around 4:30 a.m. until it successfully exited.
- ODOT Press Secretary Matt Bruning shared the footage on social media, writing, "Obviously, don't do this." The incident occurred without any resulting crashes on Thursday.
- Other vehicles, including semitrucks, were seen avoiding the car as it reversed along the Interstate. Bruning previously noted such situations are "very, very scary" because drivers do not expect vehicles to stop on highways.
- Last year, a driver on I-71 at 5th Avenue stopped in traffic after missing an exit, resulting in a multi-car crash. This incident follows that similar pattern of dangerous driving errors.
- Bruning emphasized that missing an exit is NOT a reason to reverse, warning motorists to allow space to react. "Again, if you miss your exit do NOT do this," Bruning said.
