Deputies Cited Teen Motorist for Causing Crash that Sent One Person to Hospital
The Josephine County Sheriff's Office cited a teen motorist for causing a crash that sent at least one person to the hospital late last week.
The Sheriff's Office reports deputies and emergency personnel responded to the two-vehicle collision in the 3900-block of Jerome Prairie Road at 5:33 p.m. Friday.
Deputies said witnesses reported that a Toyota Tacoma driven by a 17-year-old boy was traveling at a high rate of speed, blew through a stop sign at Midway and plowed into a Ford Mustang with four occupants. At least one of the occupants was taken by ambulance to Three Rivers Medical Center with unspecified injuries.
It was unclear in the report whether anyone else involved the crash was hurt. Both vehicles sustained heavy damage and were towed from the scene.
Following an investigation, the teenager was determined to be the at-fault driver. He was cited for Careless Driving Contributing to an Accident.
