As per the dash cam footage from a patrol vehicle, Yuris Garcia Galvez, age 27, reportedly made an ill-advised U-turn and proceeded to drive on the wrong side of the road, putting her and others in peril. This incident occurred around 2:45 a.m. last Sunday, on Nelson Brogdon Boulevard near Peachtree Industrial Boulevard, according to FOX 5 Atlanta.
