A 70-year-old Catholic priest admitted
Monday in court that he caused a crash on Interstate 5 in
Eugene-Springfield more than 13 years ago.
Richard Renato Boyle was sentenced to two
years of probation and ordered to perform 40 hours of community service
after pleading guilty in Lane County Circuit Court to a misdemeanor
charge of reckless driving.
The case relates to an Aug. 15, 2004, crash
that caused minor or injuries to a Hillsboro couple, whose vehicle
collided with Boyle’s car as the priest began to make a U-turn on the
freeway. State troopers did not ticket Boyle at the scene, and he
asserts that he never received notice of his originally scheduled
arraignment date in November 2004. A warrant for his arrest was issued
in August 2005.
