In Columbia County, a two-vehicle crash on Highway 30 resulted in the death of one individual. Oregon State Police said a driver passed away early Tuesday morning (June 20) after colliding head-on with another vehicle on Highway 30 in Columbia County.
At approximately 5:16 a.m., the Oregon State Police responded to the accident site on Highway 30 at milepost 41. The preliminary investigation conducted by the Oregon State Police indicates that a brown Honda CR-V driven eastbound by Jason Ray Bennett, 34, of Clatskanie, crossed the centerline for an unknown reason.
Upon entering the westbound lane, the brown Honda CR-V collided head-on with a white 2022 Chevrolet Silverado driven by Deer Island resident Gregory Alan Woodall Jr, 50.
Are you aware that Oregon residents should assume that their personal information has been compromised? This is the situation, according to the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT), days after it was disclosed that ODOT was involved in a global data breach affecting multiple organizations that use the MOVEit software:
Bennett, the driver of the brown Honda CR-V, was pronounced dead at the site. The driver of the white Chevrolet Silverado (Woodall Jr.) was found to be unharmed and cooperative with the investigation.
Approximately 4.5 hours of road closures occurred during the on-site investigation. OSP was assisted at the accident site by Columbia River Fire & Rescue, the Columbia County Sheriff’s Office, and the Oregon Department of Transportation.
