Redmond Police Respond To Vehicle Crash, Driver & Passenger Arrested
Redmond Police Dept. - 03/27/18
Redmond, OR -- Shortly after midnight, at 12:15 AM, on Tuesday morning March 27, 2018, Redmond Police officers responded to the 2000 block of NW Maple Ave after receiving a 911 phone call of a single-vehicle crash. This crash occurred just yards away from another DUII crash which happened on February 11, where a vehicle crashed into a residence.
Arriving officers contacted two people who had been able to remove themselves from the vehicle after the crash. The driver, Aaron Faherty, 31-years-old and Redmond resident, was uninjured. The passenger, Aaron Kuper, 31-years-old and a Redmond resident received minor injuries.
An investigation at the scene revealed Faherty was driving westbound on NW Maple Ave and then left the roadway and hit a street sign, went over the top of a large rock pile, and then through a fence before coming to rest in the front yard of 2074 NW Maple Ave. Faherty was arrested at the scene by officers for DUII-Alcohol, Reckless Driving, and Recklessly Endangering Another Person. Additional crimes are possible after further investigation is completed.
In addition to impairment, high speed is considered a contributing factor in this crash. Faherty was taken to the Redmond Police Department were he was booked and released to a sober adult.
The passenger, Kuper, was arrested on an outstanding DUII arrest warrant. He was taken by Redmond Fire & Rescue medics to St. Charles Medical Center -- Redmond, where he was ultimately issued a new court date on his arrest warrant and released.
Since the start of this year, your Redmond Police Department have arrested no less than 27 people for DUII. These people arrested, we fear, represent only a fraction of the actual number of people driving impaired in our community. DUII drivers place the lives of countless other people in danger during every hour of every day. The Redmond Police Department would like to encourage everyone to not drive after becoming impaired. In Oregon, approximately 40% of all fatal crashes involve at least one DUII driver. Please remember to plan ahead when choosing to drink or use another impairing substance. Arrange a ride, call a taxi or ride-share service, or walk to your destination after becoming impaired.
Save lives, drive sober!
