BEND, Ore. (AP) - Authorities say a suspected drunk driver was swept downstream after he tried to get out of a car that crashed into an irrigation canal northeast of Bend.
Sgt. Troy Gotchy of the Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office told KTVZ (https://is.gd/dZjjcm ) that deputies found 52-year-old Thomas Heywood floating about three-quarters of a mile from Saturday’s crash scene. They used a ladder from a home to rescue him.
Heywood was evaluated by medics, deemed to be OK and then arrested on charges of drunken driving and recklessly endangering another person.
