A Canadian man was arrested Monday evening after troopers say he was driving under the influence when he crashed into the side of a patrol car. 

According to the Florida Highway Patrol, Wayne Murray Cole, 75, was traveling eastbound on Park Boulevard around 8 p.m. 

Troopers say he traveled into a well-marked construction zone just west of 141st Street North and slammed into passenger side of a marked FHP patrol car that was parked in the left lane, behind traffic cones. 

Post-impact, the driver continued eastbound and was stopped a short time later by a trooper.
