GP Police Arrested Motorist for DUII after Crash at Siskiyou Health Center

Grants Pass Police arrested a motorist for impaired driving yesterday after he crashed into another vehicle in the parking lot of Siskiyou Community Health Center.

According to the Police Department, officers were alerted to the fender-bender at the health care facility on NW Hawthorne Avenue on Wednesday at 12:34 p.m..

Police said a female motorist called 9-1-1 to report that she was stopped when the male driver -- later identified as 62-year-old David Lefevre Moreno -- drove straight into her vehicle. No one was hurt and neither of the vehicles -- a Subaru Crosstrek and Dodge Durango -- sustained much damage.

Upon arrival, officers found both drivers angry with each other. They said Moreno displayed several indicators of impairment and performed poorly in field sobriety tests. He was placed into custody and provided a breath sample that documented a high level of impairment.

Moreno was lodged in jail for Driving Under the Influence of Intoxicants and his vehicle was impounded.
