A drunk driver in Nebraska called the police on someone driving on the opposite side of the road, not realizing he was the culprit.
According to a Facebook post from the Lancaster County Sheriff's Office, a man had called 911 back in March to report a driver he thought had been driving on the wrong side of the highway. The sheriff's office released video of the incident as well as the audio from the 911 call.
"I'm on Highway 77 going north, and there is somebody that is on the wrong side of the road," the driver said on the 911 call. He added that the other driver "almost ran me off the road."
Once police arrived on the scene and pulled over the unidentified driver, the person driving on the wrong side of the road was the man who called 911, and he was beyond intoxicated.
