Full Details:
On April 24, 2012, at about 6:35 p.m., Washington County Sheriff's Deputies responded to NW Susbauer Road north of Cornelius concerning a vehicle crash.
Investigators discovered that Arturo Cantu, age 36, from Portland, drove his 1994 GMC pickup off the roadway. Mr. Cantu's pickup left the road and sheared off a power pole before coming to a stop in a field. A large section of the pole, about 30 feet long, landed on top of the cab.
