Eugene taxi driver arrested in suspected DUII crash

EUGENE, Ore. (AP) – A Eugene taxi driver has been arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence after authorities say he was driving erratically and crashed head-on into a parked vehicle.

Fred Brittan Zeiger was booked into the Lane County jail on Monday.

Police had received numerous reports that a taxi was swerving on various roadways before the driver struck a median and crashed into a parked vehicle.

Officers were eventually able to stop the taxi and arrest the suspect, who had not been carrying a passenger at the time.

Police Lt. Jennifer Bills says Zeiger’s blood alcohol level had been more than three times the legal limit.
