Oregon State Police (OSP) troopers are continuing the investigation into a four vehicle serious injury crash on Highway 30 near Warren. Highway 30 was closed about one hour and then reduced to two lanes for another hour before being cleared about 5:00 p.m.
According to OSP Senior Trooper Robin May, on July 15, 2010 at approximately 3:06 p.m. a southbound 2008 Honda Civic driven by JOHN M. YASKOVIC, age 67, from Carlton, drifted across the highway into the northbound lanes where it collided with a 2005 Ford Explorer driven by MICHAEL E. CHURCH, age 35, from Deer Island. After the first impact the Ford Explorer spun around and struck a 1999 Honda Accord driven by JULIA A. RICE, age 32, from Scappoose. The Ford Explorer then flipped several times, landing upright in the northbound lanes. The Honda Civic then hit a 2007 Chevrolet Cobalt head-on driven by LISA K. PATTERSON, age 45, from Aloha.
YASKOVIC was transported by ambulance to Legacy Emanuel Hospital with serious injuries.
CHURCH was transported by ambulance to Legacy Emanuel Hospital with minor injuries. He was treated and released.
PATTERSON was transported by ambulance to Legacy Emanuel Hospital with serious injuries.
RICE and her 7-year old daughter were not transported to a hospital.
All drivers were wearing safety restraints.
OSP troopers continuing the investigation are looking into fatigue as a possible contributing factor.
OSP patrol and fish & wildlife division troopers responded to the crash. Scappoose Police Department, Scappoose Fire & Rescue, Columbia River Fire & Rescue, and ODOT assisted.
