Oregon State Police (OSP) is continuing the investigation into a Friday morning minor injury traffic crash on Highway 18 just east of Spirit Mountain Casino. The crash resulted in a brief highway closure after the woman's car crashed into a power pole causing downed wires onto the highway.
According to OSP Senior Trooper Bridgett Taylor, on July 16, 2010 at approximately 6:00 a.m. a 2006 Ford Mustang two-door convertible driven by ANNETTE MARIA HAIDER TEUFEL, age 50, from Otis, was eastbound on Highway 18 near milepost 23 when she fell asleep and drifted off the eastbound shoulder. The car traveled into a culvert, struck a raised driveway and hit a power pole before coming to rest off the highway.
TEUFEL received minor injuries and was transported by West Valley Fire District to an area hospital with minor injuries. She was using safety restraints and her car's airbags deployed.
A PGE electrical crew responded to the scene and determined the downed wires were communication lines and helped re-open the roadway about 7:00 a.m.
