Driver arrested after car flips

An 18-year-old was arrested early Saturday on suspicion of DUII and reckless driving after the car he was driving flipped on SW Canal Boulevard in Redmond, injuring two passengers and himself.

John Sacco, of Redmond, was northbound on Canal in a 1995 Honda Accord just before 3 a.m. when he drove onto the dirt shoulder then over-corrected and rolled several times, according to a news release from the Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office. The vehicle landed upside down in the middle of the road just north of SW Helmholtz Way.

Deputies and Redmond Fire Department medics treated Sacco and the two passengers, 16 and 17, for potentially life-threatening injuries. They were taken by ambulance to St. Charles Redmond and Bend.

Deputies believe Sacco was intoxicated with alcohol and that he may have used marijuana and been operating a cellphone at the time of the crash.

He is suspected of DUII, reckless driving, reckless endangering another and third-degree assault. He was released at the hospital for continuing treatment.

Up to two passengers may have fled the accident, according to deputies.
