Medford, OR : Arrest made in fatal ATV crash on Friday September 2 2016

Oregon officials say they've made an arrest in an all-terrain vehicle crash that killed a Washington state man.

Douglas County sheriff's deputies say two ATVs crashed on the dunes in Winchester Bay late Friday night. The driver of one of the ATVs, 30-year-old Benjamin Wohl, of Poulsbo, Washington, was killed; his passenger, Breauna Ellison, of Clackamas, Oregon, was seriously hurt.

Deputies say there were three people on the ATV that struck them, two males and a female. According to investigators, they briefly stopped after the accident, then drove off before abandoning the ATV and running into the trees. Deputies tried to track them with a police dog, without success.

In a news release Tuesday, authorities said they arrested 25-year-old Walker Thomas Kellogg, of Winchester Bay, at the Shilo Inn in Newport on Monday night. He was booked on charges that include second-degree manslaughter and failure to perform the duties of a driver to injured persons in a hit and run.

It was not immediately clear if Kellogg had obtained an attorney or when he might make an initial court appearance.
