Hit & Run vehicle "chock full of beer cans"

2014 Nissan Sentra after hitting a semi and median while eastbound on I-18 on Thursday morning.

Narrative from Oregon State Police Trooper Mark Amos:

“On Thursday June 25th at approximately 12:30 AM multiple driving complaints were reported of a black Nissan Altima eastbound on Interstate 84 near milepost 115 (about 11 miles east of Rufus). The vehicle was reported to have been swerving, speeding, and at one point struck the center median and continued driving. It later struck a semi-truck which disabled the semi-truck. The Nissan then crashed into the center median disabling it. Witnesses following the vehicle stopped at the scene of the crash and observed the occupants switch positions in the vehicle. Both appeared heavily intoxicated. OSP Troopers arrived and probable cause was developed to arrest one of the females for DUII, reckless driving, Assault III, and failure to perform duties of a driver (property damage.) Both occupants were injured with possible broken bones and abrasions. The driver refused field sobriety tests (HGN test while seated). She was observed speaking English to medics but claimed she only spoke Spanish when I arrived. She additionally provided a false date of birth and refused to present identification. Both occupants were transported to Good Shepherd Hospital in Hermiston. A search warrant was granted and executed. The driver was cited and released at the hospital. The vehicle was towed by Arlington Towing as it was disabled in the fast lane.

• No names were provided in the report. Paul Jayo, owner of Arlington Towing said when he arrived he saw that the Nissan Sentra had come to a stop against the median in the center of the freeway. Officers had to break the window, to get the door open, to remove the passengers.

  “It was chock full of beer cans,” Jayo said of the vehicle, noting 15 to 20 littered the floor - some empty, some full. Jayo, who spent 16- hours on removing an RV trailer and pickup from the highway after a tire blew out in the same stretch of highway several days ago, said people drive too fast. “They fall asleep, they do everything but drive. The road is too straight and next to the river. It mesmerizes you.”
