A westbound Honda Accord, reportedly traveling at 90 mph, missed a curve, went off the road and rolled several times. All three occupants allegedly had been drinking, and all were transported to Blue Mountain Hospital for treatment. A blood draw reportedly showed the driver had a blood alcohol level of 0.176%, more than twice the legal limit. Ian Lemuel Coombs, 19, of John Day was cited for driving under the influence, reckless driving, reckless endangerment, and minor in possession of alcohol by consumption. Both passengers — Karsen David Vandetta, 19, and a 17-year-old juvenile — were cited for minor in possession of alcohol by consumption.

The driver of an eastbound GMC Denali swerved to avoid a deer, overcorrected and rolled the truck, which came to rest on the driver’s side off the highway.

The truck was seized and towed to the OSP outpost in John Day. After obtaining a warrant, troopers searched the vehicle and recovered 1,083 live marijuana plants and 23 others that had been destroyed in the crash.
