IRRIGON — A driver in a three-vehicle crash that sent two people to the hospital was cited, according to Oregon State Police Sgt. Seth Cooney.

The crash happened about 3:45 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 6, near milepost 180 on Highway 730, between Umatilla and Irrigon.

According to Cooney, David Flores Resendiz, 25, of Irrigon, was driving westbound in a 2004 Chevy Trailblazer when his vehicle rear-ended a 2012 Mazda 3 drive by Lori Montez, 50, of Umatilla. Resendiz’s vehicle then swerved into the eastbound lane, colliding head-on with a 2017 Ford Fiesta driven by Rikki Hasty, 40, of Hermiston.

Hasty and a juvenile passenger were transported to Good Shepherd Medical Center with nonlife-threatening injuries, Cooney said.

Resendiz was cited for careless driving and failure to maintain lane. The crash temporarily disrupted traffic on the highway.
