FRANKLIN, Tenn. (WTVF) — Though being initially pronounced dead, a driver who caused a wreck in Franklin on Thursday night was revived, police said.

Authorities with the Williamson County Sheriff's Office confirmed that a man was finally brought back to life with Narcan after dying several times.

The Tennessee Highway Patrol said the man — who now has pending charges of driving under the influence and drug paraphernalia — tried to go from the farthest right lane to the last left lane. In trying to weave across that many lanes of traffic, he side-swiped another vehicle. An additional car also ended up in the wreck.

The other drivers were not hurt, according to THP.
