WILSONVILLE, Ore. – A Wilsonville man who fled the scene of a crash that seriously injured three people was sentenced Wednesday to more than four and a half years in prison.
Raul Emilio Vazquez, 24, pleaded guilty in Clackamas County Circuit Court to two counts of third-degree assault, fourth-degree assault, driving under the influence of intoxicants, and failing to perform the duties of a driver to injured persons. Several property-related charges were dismissed as part of a plea agreement.
The crash occurred just before 1 a.m. on Nov. 17, 2024, when Vazquez, driving a Ford F-250 pickup, collided with a 2012 Honda Accord at the intersection of Southwest Wilsonville Road and Interstate 5.
The driver of the Honda and her two passengers, all in their mid-20s, were injured — two of them seriously. One passenger sustained a broken pelvis, collarbone and seven ribs. All three were taken to local hospitals.
Vazquez fled the scene on foot but was later arrested at his apartment.
