JANESVILLE, WI (WTAQ) - A Janesville man is due in court Thursday on his seventh drunk driving charge, after his vehicle almost hit a Rock County sheriff’s deputy.

Officials said the 45-year-old man was speeding early Wednesday – and his vehicle crossed the center line and almost collided with the deputy’s oncoming squad car.

The officer stopped the car – and officials said the driver looked like he had fresh facial injuries from another accident earlier. They also said the man’s car had heavy damage on its front end.

Deputies were not able to determine where the earlier crash had taken place.
