CJ resident
in accident
vs. deputy
A Jackson County
sheriff’s patrol car chasing
a stolen vehicle collided
with a Cave Junction
woman’s pickup truck,
fouling traffic at the inter-
section of Table Rock and
Biddle roads.
Deputy Gordon Crisp
ran the intersection’s red
light on Wednesday, Oct. 6
heading south on Table
Rock into Medford, offi-
cials said.
His vehicle’s lights
and sirens were on, but 50-
year-old Arlene Couch
said that she didn’t see or
hear the deputy’s green-
and-white car until it was
too late. Couch’s red GMC
pickup truck smashed into
the rear passenger end of
Crisp’s Crown Victoria.
Crisp was not injured.
The airbags in Couch’s
vehicle gouged two deep
scratches on her right fore-
arm.
“I was just going with
the flow,” said Couch. “I
wasn’t speeding,” she said,
adding that she thought
police weren’t supposed to
conduct high-speed chases
because they’re dangerous.
Other deputies stopped
the stolen vehicle.
The accident was be-
ing investigated by Oregon
State Police.
Crisp is the third dep-
uty this year caught in a
collision while responding
to an emergency call.
