Oregon State Police (OSP) troopers arrested the driver of a vehicle inolved in last Sunday's two-vehicle serious injury traffic crash at the intersection of Highway 34 and Seven Mile Lane east of Interstate 5.

According to OSP Senior Trooper Brad Hales, on June 5, 2011 at approximately 8:22 a.m. a black 2003 Nissan Maxima driven by KALUGIN was northbound on Seven Mile Lane when it failed to stop at the stop sign at the Highway 34 intersection.

Upon impact the Nissan spun around north and collided a second time on the passenger side into a large tree on the west side of Seven Mile Lane. The Pontiac traveled off the west side of Seven Mile Lane and came to rest in a ditch.

MARTISHEFF was taken by REACH air ambulance first to Corvallis Good Samaritan Regional Medical Center and then to Legacy Emanuel Medical Center in Portland where he remains in critical condition.
