DRIVER ARRESTED FOLLOWING MONDAY'S SERIOUS INJURY TRAFFIC CRASH - HIGHWAY 30 WEST OF CLATSKANIE

Oregon State Police (OSP) arrested the driver of a vehicle Wednesday afternoon following an investigation into Sunday's single vehicle crash along Highway 30 about fourteen miles west of Clatskanie that injured four people, one seriously.

OSP Senior Trooper Robin May arrested JESUS ISRAEL OSORIO, age 34, from Kelso, Washington, after he was released from Oregon Health & Science University where he has been treated since the September 9, 2012 traffic crash. OSORIO was arrested as a Fugitive From Justice based upon an outstanding Cowlitz County, Washington warrant for Unlawful Delivery of a Controlled Substance - Heroin. He was lodged in the Multnomah County Jail. OSORIO was also cited for No Operators License, Driving Uninsured, and Fail to Drive Within a Lane.

On September 9, 2012 at approximately 2:20 p.m. a 1999 Ford Explorer with four occupants driven by OSORIO was eastbound on Highway 30 near milepost 74 traveling downhill when it drifted off the roadway. The driver over-corrected and lost control causing the vehicle to roll 3 times before coming to rest on its wheels in the eastbound lane.

OSORIO was transported by LifeFlight to Oregon Health & Science University with serious injuries.

The three passengers received non-life threatening injuries. The adult female in the right front seat was transported by ambulance to Columbia Memorial Hospital. A teenage male in the left rear seat was transported to Columbia Memorial Hospital. A teenage female in the right rear seat was transported to St. Johns Medical Center. Their names were not provided for this update news release.

OSP troopers from St. Helens and Astoria offices responded to the scene. Westport Rural Fire Department, Clatskanie Fire Department and ODOT assisted at the scene. The highway was closed about 45 minutes.
