Driver arrested for DUII after Woodburn crash kills pedestrian

PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — A driver was arrested on charges including DUII after police say he hit and killed a pedestrian in Woodburn early Sunday morning.

Just before 2 a.m., officers and medical personnel responded to reports that a car had hit a pedestrian in the southbound lanes of the 200 block North Pacific Highway.

On arrival, they found the pedestrian – a 49-year-old man – dead at the scene.

Officials said early investigation showed the man had been crossing the roadway and was hit by a vehicle coming from the southbound lanes.

The driver, identified as 27-year-old Santino Saldana, remained on scene during the crash investigation. However, he was eventually arrested for DUII, criminally negligent homicide and third-degree assault.

Saldana was taken and booked into the Marion County Correctional Facility.

All lanes of North Pacific Highway were closed between Young Street and Cleveland Street during the crash investigation, but they reopened at 5 a.m. Sunday.

Anyone with information in this case is encouraged to contact Woodburn police.
