Woodland police say a man had a blood-alcohol content nearly four times the legal limit when he caused a hit-and-run collision on Main Street on Tuesday afternoon.
A surveillance camera at the intersection of East Main and East streets captured the 1:17 p.m. crash, showing a white pickup striking at least one vehicle while traveling westbound at a high rate of speed. A motorcycle officer also observed the crash, police said.
“The motor officer caught the fleeing vehicle, which led the officer on a short vehicle pursuit,” police said in a Facebook post. The driver, identified as 41-year-old Jason Zurney of Woodland, was stopped and arrested at Third Street and Lincoln Avenue with a reported BAC of 0.30, nearly four times the legal limit of 0.08.
“It was later determined that Zurney struck two vehicles. The injured parties were treated at the scene and released,” police said. “Zurney was subsequently booked for felony hit-and-run resulting in injury, felony DUI resulting in injury, misdemeanor failure to yield and misdemeanor driving without a license.”
