Description

On August 23rd at about 5:30 p.m., deputies were in the area of Highway 58 milepost 22 assisting Oregon State Troopers with traffic control after a separate incident. During the incident, a silver Pontiac Coupe passed a brown Kia minivan in a no-passing zone in the area, traveling westbound. An oncoming vehicle had to swerve onto the shoulder to avoid a collision with the Pontiac, which had accelerated to a high rate of speed. The Kia was sideswiped by the Pontiac, and the driver of the Kia reported the incident to deputies.  Later that evening, deputies located the suspect, identified as Dunken Deshaun Joshua Thornton, 25, of Eugene. He was arrested for Fail to Perform Duties of a Driver - Property Damage, Reckless Driving, and three counts of Reckless Endangering.  Deputies have been unable to identify the driver of the oncoming vehicle that was almost struck head on by Thornton. If you were in the vehicle that was almost struck, please contact the Lane County Sheriff’s Office at 541-682-4141 and reference case #25-3999.
