The Early Morning Crash on Main Street
Officers were called to the area at about 12:20 a.m. and found two women who had been struck by a car. One of them was taken to a hospital, and police described her injuries as life-threatening. Police said she was later released. The second woman had minor injuries and declined to go to the hospital. Forest Grove police identified the driver as Julian Brito, 26, of Forest Grove, and said his blood alcohol content measured 0.22%.
Where the Forest Grove Police Case Stands
Police arrested Brito, and he was booked at the Washington County Jail on five counts: assault in the first and fourth degrees, driving under the influence, reckless endangering and reckless driving. Part of Main Street was closed for at least an hour while officers investigated. Police said anyone with information about the crash should reach out to the department.
An arrest at the scene is often only the first step. Formal charges are usually decided later by prosecutors.
