Oregon State Police (OSP) is continuing the investigation into Tuesday afternoon's serious injury traffic crash involving a motorcycle and passenger car that occurred on Highway 211 at S. Hayden Road south of Estacada. The names of the involved drivers are released in this update.

On July 15, 2014 at approximately 4:20 p.m., a 2008 Harley Davidson motorcycle operated by JOHN W. GROENER, age 59, from Beavercreek, was traveling southbound on Highway 211 when a northbound 2013 Kia Soul four-door turned left toward S. Hayden Road. The motorcycle crashed into the Kia's passenger side, ejecting GROENER from the motorcycle onto the highway.

GROENER was critically injured and transported by AMR ambulance to Oregon Health & Science University. He was wearing a protective helmet.

The Kia's driver, TARA R. JOYCE, age 20, from Portland, and three passengers were also transported by ground ambulance to area hospitals. Their injuries were non-life threatening and considered minor to serious. One of the passengers, DANNY D. MANJEOT, age 38, from Portland, was treated and released then taken into custody by OSP on an outstanding misdemeanor warrant charging Fail to Appear - DUII. MANJEOT was lodged in Clackamas County Jail.

JOYCE is cooperating with the investigation and no enforcement action has been taken at this time. OSP troopers from the Portland Area Command office are continuing the investigation. Trooper Cameron Bailey is the lead investigator.
