Portland, OR (June 30, 2022) – According to reports from the McMinnville Police Department, a fatal crash involving a car and log truck occurred yesterday, Wednesday, June 29th. The accident occurred along NE Hwy 99W.

From a preliminary investigation, police discovered Michael David Page, 70, was operating a 2008 Mazda Miata and was in the process of turning southbound onto NE Highway 99W from NE Riverside Drive, when his car collided with a northbound 1993 Peterbilt log truck, driven by a 45-year-old Donald Robert Edward Skala.

McMinnville reported that Page died after the crash. Skala is reported to be not seriously injured and actively cooperating with the ongoing investigation.

The crash happened in a construction zone which prompted the police department to remind commuters to always reduce speed and use caution in work zones. 

McMinnville Police also would like to remind commuters to use caution around commercial vehicles by providing extra space, anticipating wide turns, and avoiding blind spots.

The investigation into the crash is still currently ongoing.

We would like to offer our deepest condolences to the family of Michael David Page at this time.

As a result of these accidents, approximately 30,000 injuries are also reported. These are the official statistics, however, the true number of crashes is likely quite higher.

These numbers tell us that motorists can be at high risk of being involved in an Oregon car accident. Crashes and injury accidents occur every day throughout our state.

Multi-Vehicle Accidents in Portland, Oregon

A personal injury from an accident can be devastating. Car accidents happen often and there are over 31,000 people injured because of them in Oregon each year. A vast number of these accident victims are injured due to frankly unpredictable events. Reckless and irresponsible drivers cause countless accidents each year- something that any driver can be a part of.

Any type of car accident is dangerous, but when multiple vehicles are involved, the chance of injury greatly increases. An injury alone can be unpleasant and debilitating, but it can also be very costly. Aside from the costs of medical bills, missing work due to hindered mobility can also have a significant financial impact on victims and their families.

One of the leading causes of accidents is speeding. Reckless driving, drunk driving, and distracted driving are also all common factors in accidents. Even if you are found partially responsible, you may still be entitled to compensation to help pay for medical costs and lost wages.

Oregon is one of the most accommodating states for personal injury claims. If you are injured in a car accident, make sure that you know your rights and what is the best course of action to take. If your injury was the result of someone else’s negligence or a situation that you are partially responsible for, you may be able to file a claim for financial compensation. An experienced Portland car accident lawyer can help guide and support you throughout this process.

Hit and Run Accidents in Oregon

If you leave the scene of an accident in Oregon, there are several legal risks to face. You may have to pay hefty fines, lose your license, or even go to jail if found guilty.

When an accident happens, it can be hard to think clearly. These things can leave a person feeling stressed out and without a sense of control. But leaving the scene after an accident will almost always be considered a crime.

What constitutes a hit-and-run in Oregon? Any car accident a driver leaves without rendering aid and exchanging information is counted as a hit-and-run. Thankfully because Oregon has more accidents than fatalities, most hit-and-runs lead to little or no damage.

However, car accidents do happen frequently enough that the Oregon Department of Transportation Driver Motor Vehicle Services (DMV) offers training for police officers on how to report these types of accidents. If you are involved in an accident, you are legally obliged to stop and return to the scene or else you risk facing criminal charges.

You will also need to give the other driver your information such as registration and insurance information.

If you hit a parked car and you can’t find the owner, it is required that you stop and leave your information on their windshield or by another visible place. The law states that if someone is injured in an accident you are required to offer them reasonable help. This means doing what you can for them and assisting them in getting medical treatment by calling an ambulance or helping with transportation.

If you fail to follow these duties, there is a chance that the court will find you guilty of criminal offenses.

If you have been involved in a hit-and-run accident, it is highly advised that you seek consultation from an experienced auto accident lawyer. A hit-and-run is a very traumatic event to live through, we believe that you should be able to focus on healing and getting better, while we deal with insurance companies and tedious paperwork.

Portland, OR (June 22, 2022) – Tuesday night, a motorcyclist sustained serious injuries following a crash that involved a Portland police officer.

According to the Portland Police Bureau, the incident took place at the intersection of Southeast 92nd Ave and Southeast Holgate Blvd at around 7:35 p.m. The police officer was reportedly traveling northbound on Southeast 92nd Ave in response to an emergency call. The motorcyclist was reported to have been traveling eastbound on Southeast Holgate Blvd when the two parties collided. 

Following the crash, the motorcyclist was promptly transported to a local hospital where they were entered into the trauma system.

The incident is currently being investigated.

Our thoughts are with the victims and their families at this time. We hope for their full recovery.

Motorcycle Accidents in Portland Oregon

Unfortunately, motorcycling can be a very dangerous pastime. With more than 120,000 motorcycle accidents registered in Oregon, it is clear to see the risk that is involved. The most dangerous type of motorcycle accidents tends to happen on highways, where speeds are higher and visibility can be an issue.

Oregon is also known for its wet weather which is also a significant contributor to the number of motorcycle accidents that happen here every year. Even if a motorcyclist takes every precaution possible, other motorists may not see them, and their vehicles might not be able to break in time if the roads are wet. If you or a loved one has been injured or even killed in a motorcycle accident, you need the help of an experienced Oregon motorcycle accident attorney.

That is not to say that weather is the only hazard Oregon motorcyclists face on the road. There is also an ever-growing prominence of auto accidents which can be tied back to distracted driving. Far too often, serious and fatal accidents take place due to other drivers being careless with their cell phones or using their hands to do other things besides driving.

More than 5,000 motorcyclists were killed nationwide in 2019, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. It is also worthwhile to note that motorcyclists were, per mile traveled, about 29 times more at risk of fatal injuries than drivers of trucks, cars, and SUVs. Motorcyclists were also found to be four times as likely to sustain injuries in general.

Multi-Vehicle Crashes in Oregon

A personal injury accident can be devastating. Car accidents happen every year, and we see more than 31,000 people injured per year because of them in Oregon. Many of these accident victims suffer injuries due to events that are completely out of their control. Irresponsible and reckless drivers cause countless accidents each year- something that any driver can be a part of.

Any kind of car accident can be dangerous, but when two or more vehicles are involved, the likelihood of injury increases. While an injury alone can be painful and disabling, it can also be very costly. Missing out on work can have a negative financial impact and lead to undue stress on victims and their families.

Many different factors can lead to accidents like this. Speeding, reckless driving, drunk driving, and distracted driving are some of the most common causes. Even if you are found partially liable, you may still be entitled to compensation to help pay for medical costs and lost wages.

Oregon is one of the most accommodative states for personal injury claims. If you’re hurt in a car accident, make sure you know your rights and entitlements. If you were injured in an accident that wasn’t your fault or that you are only partially at fault for, then you might be eligible to apply for a compensation claim. A Portland car accident lawyer can give legal advice and guide you as to what to do if this happens.

It’s important to know that you can still go about your life and responsibilities even after a car accident. You should not accept defeat and incidents dictate your future endeavors. There are still plenty of growth opportunities and you should never give up even if it means contacting a lawyer to help you get your financial grounding back in order.
