Hood River County Sheriff’s deputies are investigating why a 40-year-old man fell out of a moving car on Highway 281 near Airport Road, leaving him with severe injuries.  The Sheriff’s Department says Steven Ray Ram of Hood River was found by passers-by laying face down in a ditch.  Sheriff’s deputies say Ram had been a passenger in a northbound vehicle driven by 25 year old Audrey Josephine Muehlhausen of Hood River, and that he had fallen out of the car while the vehicle was moving.  The cause of Ram’s exit from the moving vehicle is still undetermined and is under investigation.  Ram was taken first to Providence Hood River Memorial Hospital and later to Portland’s Legacy Emanuel Hospital, where he remained in critical condition over the weekend.  Muehlhausen was later arrested at Providence and lodged at NORCOR on charges of Driving Under the Influence of Intoxicants – Alcohol and Reckless Driving.
