Investigators said while they were investigating this crash, the driver of another vehicle drove through the road closure at a high rate of speed knocking over cones and flares.  They were arrested after a roadside breathalyzer failed and charged with impaired driving (blood alcohol level over 80 milligrams) and dangerous operation of a vehicle.
