During the chase the driver reportedly drove onto the wrong side of the road, hit a median strip and flipped over.

1. drive on the wrong side of the road
2. drive onto the wrong side of the road

The word "onto" means "to a position that is on (something, such as a surface, area, or object)," so you don't use #2 in the same sense as #1, do you? Do you think that #1 and #2 mean the same thing?
