Placerville police officers arrested an Oakland man Oct. 8 after he was reportedly driving the wrong way on Highway 50 while under the influence of alcohol, causing a crash that injured a teenage passenger.

The Placerville Police Department received report of a wrong-way driver at 12:32 a.m. Saturday. Anthony Estrada, 36, was driving west in Highway 50’s eastbound lanes near Smith Flat Road at a “high rate of speed,” according to a PPD news release.

Responding with sirens and emergency lights to intercept the driver, police say they discovered Estrada had crashed into an oncoming vehicle just east of Bedford Avenue.

A 15-year-old passenger of the vehicle Estrada hit was transported to Marshall Hospital. Police report the teen sustained non-life threatening injuries.

A search of Estrada’s vehicle revealed he had an open alcoholic beverage inside his 2004 Honda Civic, PPD officials noted. Police also learned that Estrada was driving on a suspended license.

Estrada was taken to a local hospital for treatment of his injuries and later booked into the El Dorado County Jail. He faces felony charges connected to causing injury while driving drunk and causing injury while driving the wrong way on a divided highway.

Estrada was released on $110,000 bail, according to inmate records.
