He left the road in a highway construction zone, before jumping out of the car and running barefoot across the highway. It's believed the driver was the only person in the vehicle. The driver ran through a nursing home area before giving up, lying down on the ground and surrendering. Police moved in with guns drawn and took the man into custody.
