ROSEBURG MAN HOSPITALIZED/CITED FOLLOWING SINGLE VEHICLE ACCIDENT

October 15, 2024 2:50 a.m.

A Roseburg man was hospitalized and cited following a single-vehicle wreck early Monday.

A Douglas County Sheriff’s Office report said just after 1:20 a.m. the 21-year-old was driving west on Happy Valley Road in the Green area. He drifted out of his lane to the right and his vehicle struck a parked car. The driver had no visible injuries but was complaining of pain and requested transport to CHI Mercy Medical Center by ambulance.

The man returned with a suspended license, and he was driving uninsured. The vehicle ended up on private property and the landowner made arrangements to have it towed. A deputy went to the hospital and issued the driver citations for driving while suspended-violation and driving uninsured.
