It's Florida Man Strikes Again! In this case, it's Florida Woman, and it appears that she needs some assistance in how to use her car's GPS for directions.
DATELINE - Orlando FL.
First, a little history. No doubt you've heard of Wrong Way Corrigan. Douglas Corrigan, who in 1938 flew from the west coast - Long Beach, California, to New York city, decided he was going to fly back home to Long Beach and and somehow ended up in Dublin.
Bad navigation? I don't know.
At any rate, he earned the nickname Wrong Way Corrigan. Well, as people were driving along Interstate 4 near downtown Orlando earlier this week, another motorist managed to drive at least 8 miles in the wrong direction before clipping a Florida trooper's patrol vehicle.
There was a TV news crew that was traveling on I-4 eastbound when they noticed a white Toyota Corolla drive by going westbound...in the eastbound lane.
According to 911 call logs and the Florida Highway Patrol reports, it appears the wrong way driver, ultimately identified as a 48-year old woman from Arizona - listen, when in Florida, do as the Floridians do, I guess - traveled at least 8 miles in the wrong directionwi thin a time span of about 15 minutes.
911 calls reporting the wrong way driver at about 10:23, and then they were still getting calls.
Minutes later, Florida Highway Patrol said one of its troopers spotted the wrong way driver and veered in front of the vehicle to try to stop it. Well, the driver of the wrong-way vehicle clipped the side of the trooper's vehicle before crashing into a palm tree.
Now, luckily, although both were taken to the hospital, the police officer as well as this woman driving the wrong direction, both taken to the hospital, but injuries said not to be life threatening.
And whether it's Florida Woman or Wrong Way Corrigan, it's certainly not the first time in history that someone's gone in the wrong direction.

Florida Man Probably Doesn’t Want To Be A Contestant On Sheriff Ivey’s Game Show
Not only is this our favorite Florida Man story for July, it's one of our favorites so far in 2023!
Brevard County Sheriff Wayne Ivey is a no-nonsense kind of guy.
He also has a pretty good sense of humor, as you can see from the Facebook page for the Brevard County Sheriff's Office. Anyone who can refer to himself and his fellow officers as "the Po-Po" sounds like a guy you might want to share a beer with.
Well, it seems that Sheriff Ivey is the host of a new game show called Wheel of Fugitive and while he's not above poking fun at himself, it's also pretty obvious that he means business.
And when Sheriff Ivey means business, it also means that Florida Man probably shouldn't want to be a contestant.
The Fake ID Card Was Probably the Least of Problems For Florida Man
Having a fake ID card isn't all that unusual. You can pretty much ask any college student who may or may not have reached the legal drinking age yet.
When it comes to Florida Man, the fake ID card he had was probably the least of his problems when police caught up with him.
<strong>Florida Man Omar Feliciano</strong> somehow attracted the attention of deputies from Volusia County at the worst possible time.
For one, he was holding 88 games of cocaine.
But - as is often the case with Florida Man - wait, because there's more.
Florida Woman Takes A Page From 50 Cent and Gets Arrested
Florida Woman's aim was a bit off. Remember 50 Cent's attempt to throw out the first pitch at a Mets game a few years ago?
Florida Woman Sarah Ann Kochera took a page from 50 Cent at Rick's Reef restaurant when she got into an argument with someone (we think it was her boyfriend) and tossed a burrito at him, which resulted in her being arrested.
She missed.
And hit someone else.
And now she's under arrest.
Florida Man Will Never Get His Driver’s License With A Stunt Like This
Florida Man Gary Lamar Miller will never get his Florida driver's license if he keeps pulling a stunt like the one he tried a few days ago.
Miller was clocked doing 117 miles per hour in a 70 mph zone on I-75 shortly after midnight a few days ago. With the police now in pursuit, Florida Man led them on a high-speed chase.
Despite flashing lights and sirens, Miller refused to pull over and revved his Nissan SUV to more than 120 MPH before exiting the interstate highway and finally stopping his vehicle in front of a gated community.
If the police were less than thrilled with Miller's antics behind the wheel, you can imagine their reaction when he told one of the arresting officers that the high speed chase made him feel as if he were in the video game Grand Theft Auto.
To top things off, Miller only had a learner's permit to drive and was driving illegally.
