Police Help Man After Pickup Crash

A Spokane man was critically injured early Saturday morning when the pickup truck he was driving hit two trees and rolled, police said.

Jeremiah Jens, 19, was traveling north on Cedar Street and failed to negotiate a turn at Walnut Place. Jens was partially ejected from the truck, police said.

Two nearby Spokane police officers heard the crash and ran to the truck, said police spokesperson Dick Cottam.

“Jens was choking on his own blood, and the officers performed emergency medical treatment until medics arrived,” Cottam said in a news release.

Jens sustained serious pelvic injuries and was taken to Sacred Heart Medical Center, where was in critical condition.

A passenger in the truck left the scene but later contacted police. Alcohol was involved, police said. , DataTimes
