OSP Jailed Williams Man for Hit & Run Crash on Highway 238 near Murphy
The Oregon State Police jailed a Williams man for crashing into another vehicle on Highway 238 near Murphy and then fleeing the scene late yesterday.
OSP reports troopers responded to a hit-and-run crash near milepost 6 of Williams Highway on Thursday at 6:08 p.m..
Troopers said a 16-year-old male juvenile was driving a Lincoln LS and trying to turn onto a street when the driver of a Nissan Titan sideswiped the right rear side of his vehicle. The victim said the driver -- identified as 40-year-old Del Andrew Schneider -- failed to stop and exchange information. No one was injured.
The Jackson County Sheriff's Office was able to locate the Nissan and detain Schneider. Upon being interviewed by troopers, he was arrested for Hit-and-Run Causing Property Damage and lodged without bail at the Josephine County Jail.
According to OSP, Schneider's vehicle was blocking a driveway so it was towed to Grants Pass.
