(DAYTON, Ore.) - A 2014 Audi sedan lost control on a corner just south of Wheatland Road and crashed early Friday morning.

OSP was called to the scene about 3 am Friday. When Troopers and emergency personnel responded to the scene at Highway 221 near milepost 10, their preliminary investigation revealed the Audi was traveling northbound on Highway 221 (Wallace Road) at a high rate of speed when the driver lost control on a corner.

The Audi left the roadway and traveled approximately 600 feet along the ditch line. The Audi struck a tree, a power pole and a highway sign coming to rest in the middle of the roadway after rolling several times.

The driver and two passengers were taken to local hospitals for non-life threatening injuries. The driver, 25-year old Jonathan A. Romero, of Dayton, was arrested and taken to the Yamhill County Jail on the following charges: DUII- Alcohol, Assault III, Reckless Endangering Another Person, Assault IV, Criminal Mischief II, and Reckless Driving.

OSP was assisted by the Oregon Department of Transportation, Yamhill County Sheriff's Office, Dayton Fire and McMinnville Fire. This is an ongoing investigation. More information will be released when it becomes available.
