One person arrested following head-on crash

One person is facing charges following a head-on crash at Lincoln City.

At approximately 10:32 p.m. Wednesday, June 12, Lincoln City Police Department (LCPD) officers responded to the traffic collision on N Highway 101 near NE West Devils Lake Road.

"One of the involved drivers fled the scene of the collision prior to officers arrival," LCPD Lt. Jeffrey Winn said. "The victim driver did not report any injuries. Officers began an investigation into the crash and were initially unable to locate the suspect vehicle."

Around 11:45 p.m. a witness called LCPD to report a vehicle, matching the description of the suspect vehicle, had pulled into the South Circle-K Gas Station with heavy front-end damage and smoke coming from the engine, according to Winn.

"LCPD officers quickly responded and located Heather Callin, 45 , of Lincoln City, in the driver seat," he said. "Base on the incident investigation, Callin was arrested on charges of DUII, Fail to Perform Duties as a Driver (Hit & Run), and Reckless Driving."

Callin was subsequently transported to the Lincoln County Jail where she was lodged on the listed charges.

"The Lincoln City Police Department would like to thank the observant citizen witness for their assistance in locating the involved vehicle and driver and helping to take an intoxicated driver off the streets," Winn said. "This is a great example of how the partnership with our community members help make the community safer for everyone."
