On Thursday June 30, 2011 at approximately 6:00 p.m., Adam R. Vanvactor, died as a result of a motorcycle crash in south Clackamas County.
On this occasion, Clackamas County Sheriff's deputies responded to a reported motorcycle crash reported to be in a filbert orchard, near the residential address of 33475 S. Barlow Road, in Woodburn, Oregon.
Monitor Fire Department personnel were first on the scene, and attempted to revive the 17-year-old male who was discovered to have crashed his motorcycle into a tree.
Prior to the arrival of Clackamas County Sheriff's Deputies, Adam Robert Vanvactor, 17, a resident of Oregon City, had died at the scene of the crash.
As required, The Clackamas County Deputy Medical Examiner also responded to the scene of this fatal crash to assist with the investigation.
