Two Baker City men were hurt, one critically, in a head-on collision Tuesday night, Feb. 7 at Cedar Street and Hughes Lane in north Baker City.

One of the drivers, Shane Richard Holden, 49, was treated at the scene then taken to the Baker County Jail and charged with driving under the influence of intoxicants, third-degree assault, reckless driving and recklessly endangering another person.

The assault charge is a Class B felony. The other charges are Class A misdemeanors.

The other driver, James Donald Doyle, 67, was taken by ambulance to Saint Alphonsus Hospital in Boise.

He was in critical condition on Wednesday morning, according to a hospital spokesman.

A Life Flight airplane dispatched to fly Doyle to the Boise hospital wasn’t able to take off from the Baker City Airport after fog set in, Baker City Police Sgt. Wayne Chastain said.

The crash happened around 9 p.m., according to the Baker County Emergency Dispatch Center.

Chastain said Doyle was driving north on Cedar Street in a 1987 Ford Tempo, while Holden was driving south on Cedar Street in a 2000 Chevrolet 1-ton pickup truck.

Neither man had a passenger, and there were no witnesses to the crash, Chastain said.

The investigation into the crash is continuing, Baker County District Attorney Greg Baxter said.

Oregon State Police Sr. Trooper Tim Schuette planned to do an accident reconstruction at the site, a process that will include the use of a drone on Wednesday afternoon.

Schuette said the drone will fly a preset course over the site, taking a series of overlapping photographs to create a mosaic of the scene.

That mosaic, which can be either two-dimensional or three-dimensional depending on whether the camera is shooting straight down or at an angle, can reveal details that aren’t as easy to analyze from the ground, Schuette said.

Those details can include tire skid marks, gouges in the asphalt and the trail of fluids from the cars, he said.
