Wreck
knocks out power poles
Deschutes County Sheriff's Deputies
arrested a 19-year-old Bend man after he allegedly crashed into a power
pole, causing a power outage in the Sisters area.
The accident occurred just
before midnight on Thursday, May 2 on Highway 20 near Fryrear Road.
When deputies arrived they
found that a red Chevrolet two-door driven by Rafael Diaz Quintana had
been westbound on Highway 20 when it left the roadway and clipped a Central
Electric Cooperative power pole.
The vehicle then continued
to the next power pole which it sheered off near ground level. This caused
a power outage to local residents and closed the highway for several hours,
according to sheriff's office reports.
Quintana treated for his minor
injuries at the hospital.
He was then taken into custody
by deputies and lodged at the Deschutes County Jail on charges of driving
under the influence of intoxicants and reckless driving.
