A University of Oregon student was arrested Sunday morning and charged with drunk driving, reckless driving and two counts of second-degree assault after his car collided with another on the Randy Papé Beltline, according to The Register-Guard.
Bryan Andrew Bierce, a 25-year-old economics student, was driving the wrong way in the eastbound lane of the Randy Papé Beltline when his Saab hit a Suzuki at about 4:45 a.m.; he sustained non-life-threatening injuries. In the other vehicle, passenger Chanreuang Jones, 58, of Sandy suffered serious injuries, and Danny Thomas Jones, 60, was reported to have non-life-threatening injuries. It is unclear who was driving the vehicle.
The beltline was closed until just after 11 a.m. due to the crash.
Police suspect alcohol played a role in the crash, according to KVAL.com.
