SLIPPERY ROCK TWP — A driver with a suspended license was more than four times the legal limit for alcohol and high on drugs when he caused five separate crashes just several minutes apart, authorities said.

State police said the suspect, 39-year-old Jason E. Vogan of Boyers, drove away after each wreck one evening in February. He eventually stopped but only after the fifth crash when his car slammed into a tree.

Police on Monday filed numerous criminal and traffic charges against Vogan stemming from the unusually bad case of alleged drunken driving Feb. 23.

Troopers say Vogan was driving a 2001 Hyundai Elantra about 6:45 p.m. when he struck the back of a truck on South Main Street in Slippery Rock.

The truck driver, Christopher Peck, told Slippery Rock police that Vogan drove off and turned onto Kiester Road, documents said.

Vogan soon after traveled into neighboring Slippery Rock Township and came upon a sport utility vehicle, which he hit in the back too, police said.

The SUV driver, Hannah Kehoe, told troopers she had just left the Slippery Rock University Recreation Center.

The other driver, she said, drove around her after the crash at Kiester and Harmony roads and kept going.

A short distance away, Vogan approached another intersection and struck the back of another SUV stopped on Harmony Road and Branchton Road, documents said.

Mark Tagliaferro, the victim of that crash, told police he last saw the suspect drive away and turn onto Branchton Road.

Police said Vogan continued east on Branchton Road where he soon lost control of his car and hit a mailbox along the road.

He managed to get the car back on the road and traveled another quarter mile, documents said, before the car left the road again and struck a large tree and sign in the yard of a home.

When troopers got there, Vogan appeared to have passed out and reeked of alcohol, police said.

In the vehicle, police saw an open bottle of whiskey, empty beer cans and an unlabeled pill bottle.

Vogan was taken to Butler Memorial Hospital for treatment of minor injuries and for a blood test.

Toxicology reports later revealed Vogan had a blood-alcohol level of 0.332 percent, documents said. A level of 0.08 percent is considered intoxicated under state law.

Additionally, police said, his blood tested positive for opiates and marijuana.

Police noted that Tagliaferro, after the crash, was treated at the Grove City Medical Center for minor injuries.

Vogan is charged with driving under the influence of alcohol and drugs, causing an accident while not properly licensed, driving with a suspended license, and three counts each of hit-and-run and following too closely to another vehicle.

Other charges include five counts of failing to stop and give information or render aid after an accident, failing to notify police of an accident involving injury, failing to keep right, careless driving and reckless driving.
