OSP Nabbed Motorist for Impaired Driving after Wreck on Redwood Highway
The Oregon State Police arrested a motorist for impaired driving late yesterday following a crash on Redwood Highway between Hayes Hill and Selma.
According to OSP, troopers and emergency crews responded to the single-vehicle wreck near milepost 17 of US Highway 199 on Monday at 5:53 p.m..
Troopers said a 33-year-old male subject lost control of his Subaru Legacy and crashed, but he was not hurt. They said he displayed signs of impairment and refused to perform field sobriety tests, so a search warrant was obtained and he was transported to Three Rivers Medical Center for a blood draw that showed his blood-alcohol level was three times the legal driving limit (.24%).
The suspect was subsequently lodged at the Josephine County Jail for Driving Under the Influence of Intoxicants, Reckless Driving and Driving While Suspended. His vehicle was impounded and towed to Cave Junction.
