New York Jets linebacker Dylan Donahue was charged with DWI and reckless driving after causing a wrong-way crash in the Lincoln Tunnel early Monday morning, authorities told the Jersey Journal.

Donahue drove a Dodge Charger around traffic cones and into the center tunnel against traffic at about 2 a.m., according to a Port Authority spokesman. Four passengers of a jitney bus suffered minor injuries; 15 people were on board.

Donahue, a 2017 rookie who was a fifth-round pick out of West Georgia, failed sobriety and Breathalyzer tests and was placed under arrest, according to the Journal.

Donahue appeared in four games last season, making five tackles, before suffering a season-ending elbow injury in Week 4.
