SALEM, OR — October 17, 2026 Isabella Moreno, 22, of Salem, was arrested Saturday morning following a suspected driving-under-the-influence crash that injured two people and caused damage to several vehicles and an apartment building in south Salem, according to the Salem Police Department.
The collision occurred at approximately 6:30 a.m. near the intersection of Owens Street S and Fairmount Avenue S. Police reported that Moreno’s vehicle first struck an occupied vehicle at the intersection, then collided with three parked vehicles before crashing into the Willamette Terrace Apartments.
A resident inside one of the apartments and Moreno sustained minor injuries. Salem Fire medics treated both individuals at the scene before they were transported to Salem Hospital. Authorities reported no additional injuries.
According to police, Moreno’s blood alcohol concentration was more than twice Oregon’s legal limit of 0.08%.
Moreno was taken to the Marion County Jail and faces charges of driving under the influence of intoxicants, recklessly endangering another person and fourth-degree assault. The charges remain allegations, and the case has not been presented here as a finding of guilt.
The investigation remains ongoing. Police directed further inquiries to the Marion County District Attorney’s Office.
