A Lewiston man faces several charges after his car crashed into a power pole near the north end of Prospect Avenue Saturday afternoon and rolled down a hill where it hit another vehicle.
24-year-old Michael Damon faces two counts of hit-and-run, a charge of driving under the influence and a charge of failure to have insurance.
Lewiston Police say Damon was driving his 1993 Nissan north down Prospect Avenue, near the intersection with Snake River Avenue, at about 3 p.m. Saturday when he hit a power pole on the west side of the road, causing the vehicle to slide down the hill onto Snake River Avenue where it hit a 2003 Dodge Ram pickup driven by 63-year-old Robert Cline of Clarkston. Damon then fled across the Interstate Bridge to Clarkston, where he was detained by officers.
