A man has been charged with felony DUI after an accident involving a street sweeper early Saturday morning.

Lance Cpl. Jeff Gaskins with the South Carolina Highway Patrol says that 26-year old Henrry Galeano-Alvarez, of Greenville, has been charged with felony driving under the influence after he allegedly was traveling in the wrong lane on Highway 291 in Greenville County and struck a street sweeper head-on.

Gaskins says that Alvarez was driving northbound on Highway 291 in a 1999 Ford two-door sedan when he struck the street sweeper, driven by 49-year old Stella Fenske, head-on. Gaskins says that it appears that both drivers attempted to avoid the collision, but failed.

Both drivers were transported to Greenville Memorial Hospital and their conditions are not yet known.
