OREGON CITY, Or. -- A Wilsonville man who fled the scene after crashing into another car and injuring three people was sentenced to 55 months in prison Wednesday.

Raul Emilio Vazquez, 24, pled guilty in Clackamas County Circuit Court to two counts Assault in the Third Degree, Assault in the Fourth Degree, Driving Under the Influence of Intoxicants and failure to perform the duties of a driver to injured persons. Several other property-related charges were dismissed as part of a plea agreement.

Vazquez was driving a Ford F-250 pickup truck when he collided with a 2012 Honda Accord at the intersection of Southwest Wilsonville Road and Interstate 5 shortly before 1 a.m. on Nov. 17, 2024.

The driver of the Honda and her two passengers, all in their mid-20s, were injured, two of them seriously. All three were transported to local hospitals. One of them suffered a broken pelvis, broken collarbone and seven broken ribs.

Vazquez immediately left the crash site on foot and returned to his apartment where he was taken into custody.
