\nA man was arrested Tuesday after police said he drove drunk and caused a 6-vehicle crash on the Watterson Expressway in Louisville.<\/p>\n
James Barnes, 40, is charged with commercial driving under the influence, wanton endangerment and reckless driving.<\/p>\n
According to Barnes\u2019 arrest citation, Louisville Metro Police officers responded just after 4 p.m. to reports of a multi-vehicle crash on Interstate 264 East at the Breckenridge Lane exit.<\/p>\n
Police said Barnes was driving a commercial vehicle and rear-ended the car in front of him, causing a chain reaction that led to the 6-vehicle crash.<\/p>\n
At least one person was trapped in their vehicle and three people were hospitalized, according to the citation. All lanes near the crash were also blocked while police investigated, causing a major traffic backup in the area.<\/p>\n
While speaking to Barnes, officers noticed the smell of alcohol on his breath. According to the citation, Barnes also admitted to consuming a \u201csubstantial amount of alcohol\u201d the night before.<\/p>\n
Barnes appeared in court Wednesday, where he posted a $7,500 surety bond. He is due back in court on November 19.
