A 46-year-old Dayton, Nevada man faces driving under the influence charges after crashing his station wagon off South Kingston Avenue and leaving the vehicle propped vertically on utility pole guide wires.

According to a Rockwood Police Department traffic crash report released today, officers responded to the 200 block of South Kingston Avenue on November 9, 2026, at approximately 12:36 p.m. Upon arrival, authorities found a blue 2017 Subaru station wagon resting against two guy wires supporting a utility pole.

The driver, identified as Jonathan Paul Fischer, was observed exiting the vehicle showing signs of impairment, including slurred speech, bloodshot eyes, and a strong odor of alcohol. Investigators noted that open containers of alcohol were recovered from the center console cup holder and passenger-side floorboard.

Police determined Fischer was traveling southbound when he drifted off the right side of the roadway, striking a mailbox before careening into the utility pole support wires. Fischer requested precautionary medical evaluation and was transported to Roane Medical Center by ground EMS, where he consented to a whole-blood chemical test.

The incident temporarily blocked traffic lanes until the scene was cleared at approximately 1:30 p.m. Fischer was cited for driving under the influence and failure to keep in the proper lane.
