SISTERS, OR -- A 21-year-old Bend transient faces several charges after he allegedly stole a car, crashed it and then was hit by another vehicle he attempted to steal.

According to the Deschutes County Sheriff's Office, Joshua Buck requested a ride from the county's Stabilization Center to Sisters. When the vehicle stopped at the requested location, just before 3 a.m. Friday, authorities say Buck assaulted the driver and dragged him out of the car. He then drove off, heading west on Highway 20. Deputies were able to track the vehicle's location, as it turned onto Highway 126. 

At about 4 a.m., DCSO was advised by the Lane County Sheriff's Office of a multi-vehicle crash near Vida. LCSO contacted Buck at that crash site, where they say he was actively trying to steal a second vehicle. The driver of that car sped away, striking Buck in the process. 

Buck was arrested and treated at the hospital for his injuries. He's charged with Robbery, Assault and Unauthorized Use of a Vehicle.
