A wrong-way driver accused of crashing into a guardrail on the Sawgrass Expressway, urinating along the highway and becoming physically combative with law enforcement was arrested following a chaotic incident in Coral Springs.

According to a Florida Highway Patrol report, Everton Michael Cytall, 43, of Fort Lauderdale, was arrested August 7 after authorities received reports of a wrong-way driver traveling northbound in the southbound lanes of the Sawgrass Expressway, near Coral Ridge Drive.

Traffic Management Control cameras tracked his vehicle as it was allegedly driven aggressively and nearly collided with several vehicles, according to the arrest report. Authorities said Cytall eventually crashed into a guardrail, totaling his vehicle.

After the crash, Cytall allegedly exited the Camry and began urinating on the side of the roadway.

Officers with the Coral Springs Police Department and deputies from the Broward Sheriff’s Office responded to the scene. According to the arrest report, a Coral Springs officer made contact with Cytall and repeatedly ordered him to sit on the guardrail.

Authorities allege Cytall instead became physically combative and resisted the officer with violence. During an inventory search of the disabled Camry, an FHP trooper allegedly discovered small white round pills marked “U 35” inside the center glove box.

Cytall was transported to the hospital for a medical evaluation following the crash.

Authorities said that while Cytall was being admitted, a small plastic bag containing an unidentified white crystal substance was discovered inside his sock. The arrest report does not state what the substance was.

FHP also noted Cytall was involved in a separate incident in Coconut Creek. No additional details about that incident were provided in the report.

Following his medical evaluation, Cytall was transported to the Broward County Main Jail.
