Man charged with DUI after driving wrong way down highway, hitting several cars

Police say a man took a wild, drunken ride down the streets of Mt. Lebanon.

The rampage left a string of drivers hurt and damaged cars before crashing into a building.

Mt. Lebanon police told Channel 11 it all started in the parking lot of the Galleria Mall just before 9 p.m. Tuesday night.

That's where they said Brian Edward Irwin got behind the wheel of his Toyota truck -- drunk.

According to investigators, Irwin pulled out of the Galleria parking lot onto Gilkeson Road where he hit a pole and a car.
