A juvenile died in a wreck Monday afternoon, and her father is now charged with criminally negligent homicide.

A Douglas County Sheriff’s Office report said at about 1:30 p.m. deputies were called to the crash on Oregon Department of Forestry land bordering the 1200 block of Tunnel Road in Glendale. A pickup was reportedly occupied by the driver, 55-year-old Ian Fleming of Wolf Creek, and three juvenile females when the wreck occurred.

The three juveniles were thrown from the vehicle as it rolled multiple times down an embankment. All juveniles sustained injuries. Fleming was able to get out of the vehicle on his own and then attempted to get medical care for his seriously injured daughter. The report said he used a borrowed vehicle to drive his daughter to the ambulance station on Tunnel Road. Glendale Ambulance paramedics declared her deceased a short time later.

The two other juveniles were transported by Glendale Ambulance to Asante Rogue Regional Medical Center in Medford for treatment.

DCSO detectives responded to the scene after deputies reported that Fleming had fled. He later returned to the location of the crash and was interviewed. Detectives determined alcohol and drugs were a factor in the crash. Fleming is detained on $1 million bail.

He was originally charged with second-degree manslaughter, but the charge was changed by the District Attorney’s Office at arraignment on Tuesday.
