An elderly man was hospitalized following a two-vehicle accident on Tuesday.

A Douglas County Sheriff’s Office report said just before 5:20 p.m. the man was southbound on Highway 99 South near Tipton Road just south of Roseburg when he made a left turn toward a residential driveway in front of a northbound pickup. The accident was witnessed by an off-duty Roseburg Community Service Officer.

The report said there was heavy damage to the passenger side of the first vehicle and the front end of the pickup. There was a forty-foot skid mark from the pickup, prior to the impact.

Both subjects complained of pain. The driver who caused the accident was transported by ambulance to CHI Mercy Medical Center, where he is listed in fair condition, according to a hospital spokesperson.
