An Oregon man involved in a July head-on crash that seriously injured a Battle Ground man was arrested today.
Trevor Hughes, 26, of Rhododendron, Ore., turned himself in to the Oregon State Police Portland office today and was taken to the Clackamas County Jail on suspicion of second- and third-degree assault and driving under the influence related to the July 30 crash.
