The Dalles Police Department has identified the driver of a vehicle that crashed on Monday after a pursuit by police was discontinued as 32-year-old Jessica Widner. Widner suffered critical injuries and was taken by Lifeflight to a Portland area hospital. According to a statement by the department, in-car video confirms that officers had discontinued the pursuit, but the vehicle Widner was driving was involved in a single-vehicle accident on Highway 30. The statement also says officers terminated the pursuit just outside of Rowena because speeds were not safe for the driver, officers, and the public. Police reports of both the pursuit and the accident are being reviewed by the Wasco County District Attorney’s office.
