Medford Police Dispatched to Two Motor Vehicle Incidents Tuesday Morning
Medford Police officers responded to two unrelated motor vehicle collisions during the early morning hours Tuesday.
Officers were first dispatched at about 2:45 a.m. to a single-vehicle crash on East McAndrews Road near Beatty Street, where a vehicle had struck a power pole. The investigation found the 55-year-old female driver was intoxicated.
She was cited and released to a local hospital for treatment of injuries sustained in the crash. The roadway was shut down for an extended period of time while crews worked to clear the roadway and repair damaged utility lines.
About 20 minutes later, officers responded to a vehicle-versus-pedestrian crash on the Crater Lake Highway overpass above Interstate 5. The pedestrian was transported to a local hospital with serious injuries. Following an investigation, it was determined there was no criminal act on the part of the driver. The roadway was reopened.
