OSP Arrested Washington Man for DUII after Interstate 5 Crash near Wolf Creek
The Oregon State Police arrested a Washington man for impaired driving after he crashed into another vehicle on Interstate 5 in northern Josephine County.
OSP reports troopers and emergency crews responded to the two-vehicle collision in the southbound lanes of I-5 near milepost 75 on Thursday during the noon hour.
Troopers said an investigation determined that a Hyundai sedan driven by a 23-year-old man from Battle Ground, Washington, rear-ended a Ford sport utility vehicle driven by a person who was not identified in the report. No one was hurt.
According to OSP, the Hyundai driver displayed signs of impairment, performed poorly in field sobriety tests and was taken to the Grants Pass Sobering Center where he provided a breath sample that was nearly three times the legal limit.
The Washington man was lodged at the Sobering Center for Driving Under the Influence of Intoxicants. His damaged car was hauled to a Grants Pass impound yard by Allstar Towing.
