Dash camera footage showed the Ritchie driving west on Route B, and he did not stop at a stop sign, according to a news release from the BCSD. Ritchie then allegedly swerved into the northbound lane on Route B, where a deputy was driving.
The deputy swerved to avoid a head-on crash, but Ritchie crashed into the side of the vehicle, the news release said.
Ritchie was arrested on suspicion of failing to stop at a stop sign, operating a motor vehicle in a careless and imprudent manner and DWI.
No one was seriously hurt and no one was taken to the hospital, according to authorities. Ritchie allegedly received injuries from another incident.
