A Roseburg man was jailed for a warrant after being involved in a traffic accident on Thursday afternoon.

A Roseburg Police report said just after 3:15 p.m. the 50-year old was traveling southbound on Northeast Stephens Street when he pulled into the turn lane at the intersection with Northeast Diamond Lake Boulevard, to make a left turn. The man made the turn on a flashing yellow light. His vehicle was struck by a sedan that was northbound on Northeast Stephens. The second driver had entered the intersection on a green light. The first driver admitted to turning on a flashing yellow light.

While an officer was on the scene of the wreck, dispatch informed him that the first driver had a warrant for his arrest out of Marion County.
