On April 30, 2016, at approximately 7:00 PM deputies responded to the 2300 block of Landers Lane in Roseburg for a report of a vehicle vs pedestrian collision involving a juvenile. Witness statements reported that a 6 year old male was playing in the area and chased after a ball into the street. The ball was flattened by a Chevy pickup truck driven by Dale Bishop, age 66, of Roseburg. Following him was Gregory Elliot, age 58 of Roseburg, driving a Ford F-150 who struck the boy with his bumper, knocking him to the ground. The juvenile was transported to Mercy Medical Center and was later transported by LifeFlight to Doernbecher Hospital in Portland. The case is currently still under investigation. Alcohol was not a factor and both drivers cooperated with police.
