Roseburg Police jailed a woman following an alleged DUII wreck on Saturday night.

An RPD report said shortly before 7:30 p.m. a man was driving westbound in the 2100 block of West Harvard Avenue when his pickup was hit from behind by a woman driving a sedan. This caused the victim to drive over the sidewalk and crash into a ditch. A third driver was eastbound on Harvard and witnessed the crash. The woman then drove into that man’s lane and struck his van.

That driver followed the woman’s vehicle to the 600 block of West Pilger Street where she was contacted by officers. Signs of impairment were observed and the woman admitted to being under the influence of alcohol and being the driver at the time of the collisions. She performed poorly on standard field sobriety tests and was placed under arrest.

The driver, identified as 33-year old Katie Osborne was charged with DUII alcohol, reckless driving, recklessly endangering another person, and for driving while suspended-misdemeanor. Bail was set at $22,500. Osborne was released on Sunday.
