Willits driver injured in crash
A Willits man had to be flown by helicopter from the scene of a head-on collision on Sherwood-Fort Bragg Road west of Sherwood Road Friday night, according to the Garberville Area California Highway Patrol.
Shawn Wilburn, 38, was driving east on Sherwood-Fort Bragg Road in a Honda Civic at about 6:30 p.m. Aug. 2 when, "for reasons still under investigation," he collided head-on with an oncoming Toyota Tacoma pickup truck, according to the CHP.
The Toyota's driver, Andrew Perrill, 50, also of Willits, was uninjured in the crash, which occurred about a mile west of Sherwood Road, according to the CHP.
Wilburn was flown by CalStar air ambulance to Santa Rosa Memorial hospital with moderate injuries from the crash.
The CHP said in its Friday night press release that it was "unknown ... if intoxication was a factor," and the investigation continued.
Arcata man arrested in reckless driver stop
An officer responded at 5:40 p.m. Aug. 2 to a report of a reckless driver headed south on Highway 101 near Miranda in Humboldt County, according to the CHP.
He tried to stop a white Ford F-350 pickup, but the driver, later identified as Joshua J. Owejan, 30, allegedly "continued to drive erratically," eventually exiting the freeway onto southbound Redwood Dive and continuing toward Redway, according to the CHP.
Owejan drove through Redway, turned onto Evergreen Road and pulled into a business near the end of the road where CHP officers and Humboldt County Sheriff's Office deputies made contact with him.
Owejan was arrested on suspicion of reckless evasion, driving under the influence and driving with a suspended license, among other charges. A female passenger was also arrested for being drunk in public, and Owejan's two other passengers were released, according to the CHP.
