KQEN News Radio

An Eagle Point man died in an early morning two-vehicle crash on Wednesday.

An Oregon State Police report said just before 5:00 a.m. the accident was reported on Highway 138W near milepost 6 in the Kellogg area. The preliminary investigation indicated that an eastbound sedan, operated by 38-year-old Carl Gregory Miller, veered into the westbound lane of travel and struck a commercial motor vehicle, driven by 34-year-old Grant Crossgrove of Sisters, head-on. The sedan burst into flames on impact. Motorists on the scene extricated Miller from the burning vehicle.

Miller was declared deceased at the scene. The operator of the semi-truck was reportedly uninjured.

Highway 138W was impacted for approximately five hours during the on-scene investigation. Fatigue is believed to be a possible factor in the crash.

OSP was assisted by Kellogg Rural Fire, Elkton Rural Fire, North Douglas County Fire and EMS, Bay City Ambulance and the Oregon Department of Transportation.

REPRESENTATIVE OSBORNE MAKES STATEMENT ON OFF-ROAD VEHICLE BILL

KQEN News Radio

On Thursday, the Oregon House of Representatives unanimously passed HB 2232A, a bill that changes the authority of creating off-road vehicle standards from the Director of Transportation and Environmental Quality Commission to the State Parks and Recreation Department.

Representative Virgle Osborne of Roseburg said, “HB 2232 A is a simple bill, but a necessary one”. Osborne said, “Oregon Parks and Recreation, with key support from organizations like the ATV Advisory Committee, is better suited to adopt rules surrounding ATV equipment and noise. It is an appropriate transfer of authority”.

Osborne concluded, “I want to give thanks to my colleagues for their unanimous vote of support on the House floor”.
