NARRATIVE:
On Tuesday, 070919, at approximately 6:02 PM, deputies with the Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office were dispatched to a reported Injury Motor Vehicle Accident in the 8000 block of NW 19th Street in Terrebonne, Oregon. Deschutes County 911 received a report a vehicle had crashed into a yard at this location and information received was that there were potential life threatening injuries to a 10 year old passenger. Life Flight air ambulance was launched and landed nearby to transport the juvenile to SCMC in Bend.
Upon arrival, deputies began an investigation and determined a 2005 white Chrysler BTM passenger car was traveling southbound on NW 19th Street when the driver, identified as Rose Lara, failed to negotiate corners in the area and drove off the roadway on the west side of the roadway. The vehicle clipped a power pole before driving through a pole fence into a field and through the same fence at the corner of a field and coming to rest in a residential yard at this location. Both Lara and the juvenile male passenger sustained non-life threatening injuries. The juvenile was transported to SCMC in Bend via air ambulance and Lara was transported to SCMC in Redmond. An investigation determined Lara was under the influence of alcohol and was arrested after a search warrant for her blood was obtained.
The power pole did not require replacement. Speed and alcohol are believed to be to be related to this crash.
