A pair of crashes caused by vehicles driving in the wrong direction have killed 11 people in the US states of California and Florida, according to local news reports Monday.
Olivia Carolee Culbreath, 21, was arrested in California on charges of manslaughter and suspicion of drunk driving after allegedly speeding at 160 kilometres per hour the wrong way on the 60 Freeway

Culbreath's car struck two SUVs head-on, killing six people (five women and one man), two of them passengers in her car. Pictures from
