Police say they had to blow out a truck's tires to stop a wrong-way drunk driver Tuesday evening on the Long Island Expressway.

They say it happened around 10 p.m. in Plainview when they got a 911 call about a swerving box truck going east in the westbound lanes.

The truck allegedly cut across the center median near Exit 52 and kept going east, now in the proper lanes.
