August 24, 2022 9;40 a.m.

Roseburg Police have made a change in who was cited for a two-vehicle accident last month.

The RPD report said on July 13th the vehicles collided on Northwest Garden Valley Boulevard in the east entrance to Bi-Mart. At the time, the 78-year old driver was cited for making a dangerous left turn. The driver was seriously injured in the wreck and continues to be bed-ridden at this time. The report said surveillance of the accident was recently discovered from a camera in the store’s parking lot. That surveillance showed that the other driver, a 20-year old man, was driving about twice the speed limit when the crash occurred.

Due to the new footage, the original citation was dismissed. The younger driver was cited for careless driving contributing to a crash.
