Oregon State Police (OSP) is continuing the investigation into the cause of an early Wednesday morning single vehicle traffic crash along Highway 97 about 14 miles north of Madras that resulted in injuries to three unidentified people.
On May 15, 2013 at approximately 5:08 a.m., a 1992 Chevrolet Blazer sport utility vehicle with three male occupants was northbound on Highway 97 near milepost 77 when it crossed the southbound lane. The vehicle continued onto the shoulder and rolled at least once before coming to rest on its wheels in the southbound lane. One of the 3 occupants was ejected from the rolling vehicle and seriously injured. That person was transported by air ambulance to an unidentified area hospital. The other two male occupants were injured and taken by ground ambulance to an area hospital. No names were available for this release.
The highway was blocked one hour during the emergency incident response. No OSP troopers were on duty so one was called out from his residence to respond and investigate. Lead investigator is Senior Trooper Jed Rzegocki.
OSP was assisted at the scene by Jefferson County Sheriff's Office, Jefferson County EMS, Jefferson County Fire Department, LifeFlight, and ODOT.
