A Beaverton driver hospitalized in a Washington County crash Saturday that also injured a passenger has been cited for drunk driving and other crimes.
Joshaua Farnsworth, 30, was arrested for DUII, Assault 4, Reckless Driving, and Recklessly Endangering another Person. Because he was being treated in a hospital at the time of the arrest, Farnsworth was issued a citation to appear in court at a later date.
The name of the passenger, described as an adult male, was not immediately released. Both he and Farnsworth receive non-life-threatening injuries.
According to the Washington County Sheriff's Office, at about 1:00 p.m. on July 18, deputies responded to the report of a crash on Southwest 185th Avenue near Southwest Rigert Road in the community of Aloha. The WSCO says a single vehicle lost control on a curve, left the roadway and turned over. Both the driver and passenger were transported to the hospital.
Deputies investigating the case determined that Farnsworth, the driver, had been drinking heavily before the crash. A deputy responded to the hospital where he was being treated and arrested him
