One person was taken to the hospital following a two-vehicle crash on Wednesday morning.

A Roseburg Police report said just before 8:30 a.m. a driver was stopped at a red light at the corner of Northeast Stephens Street and Northeast Stewart Parkway. Another driver was traveling south on Stephens Street. The first driver’s light turned green and she began traveling west through the intersection. The second driver approached a red light, but kept going and their SUV was hit by the first vehicle.

The report said the second vehicle flipped over after it was hit, coming to a stop just south of the intersection. The driver who caused the wreck was possibly having a medical issue while driving. He was transported to CHI Mercy Medical Center where he was evaluated. He was treated and released according to a hospital spokesperson. That driver was cited for failure to obey a traffic control device.
