PHOENIX (AP/FOX 10) - The Arizona Department of Transportation is crediting its thermal camera-based wrong-way vehicle detection system with stopping an accident from happening on a Phoenix freeway. They say the detection system alerted authorities and other motorists early Monday about a pickup truck being driven the wrong way on Interstate 17. State Department of Public Safety troopers took the driver into custody and nobody was injured.
