Five people were injured, two seriously, in a two-vehicle traffic crash at the east end of Government Camp Loop Road's intersection with Highway 26. The crash closed Highway 26 for one hour and a detour was established using Government Camp Loop Road.
According to OSP Trooper Tyler Bechtel, on March 6, 2010 at approximately 1:10 p.m. a 2007 Subaru Impreza driven by DALE E. BARNACHE, age 59, from southwest Portland, was attempting to turn left from Government Camp Loop Road to eastbound Highway 26 when it turned in front of an eastbound 1989 Volvo four-door driven by RAY RADEMACHER, age 51, from Maupin. The Volvo collided with the turning Subaru.
BARNACHE and RADEMACHER both received minor injuries not requiring medical treatment. They were using safety restraints.
Three passengers in the Volvo were injured and transported. PATRICIA RADEMACHER, age 49, and JACQUELYN BEVERAGE, age 26, both from Maupin, were transported by LifeFlight to Oregon Health Sciences University (OHSU) with serious injuries. HUGO CHRISTENSEN, age 2 1/2, was transported by AMR to OHSU with minor injuries. They were all using appropriate safety restraints.
Off duty fire personnel from Bend and Sunriver Fire Departments drove upon the scene shortly after the collision and provided initial medical treatment along with ski patrol personnel from Summit Ski Area.
Hoodland Fire Department and ODOT also responded to assist.
BARNACHE was cited for Dangerous Left Turn.
