A Delta Airlines Airbus A321-200, registration N350DN performing flight DL-2724 from Nashville,TN to Minneapolis,MN (USA), was cleared for takeoff from runway 20R and accelerating for takeoff, when tower spotted a private aircraft had turned the wrong way and was about to cross the active runway. Tower cancelled the takeoff clearance, the crew rejected takeoff and brought the aircraft to a safe stop.
