assist the Grant County Sher-
iff’s Office on a motor vehi-
cle crash. Upon arrival,
the sheriff’s department
requested that OSP handle
the crash investigation. The
driver was traveling west-
bound on Highway 26 near
milepost 157 when he stated
a tire blew on his vehicle,
causing him to lose con-
trol. The vehicle traveled
across the westbound lane
and shoulder and overturned
on the westbound embank-
ment. The driver refused
transport by ambulance but
complained of pain. The
driver was cited for no oper-
ator’s license and requested
Frontier Towing remove the
vehicle.
Dec. 9: Investigated a
serious injury truck crash.
The cattle truck and trailer
were traveling northbound
on State Route 207 near mile-
post 3. The driver was towing
a trailer that was loaded with
cattle and traveled down a
steep, curvy grade. The vehi-
cle lost its brakes and was
unable to negotiate a curve,
striking the eastbound guard-
rail. The vehicle and trailer
left the roadway, traveling
down a steep embankment,
and were entangled in the
guardrail, pulling over 415
feet of guardrail free from its
anchor post and blocking the
roadway. The guardrail was
preventing the vehicle and
trailer from continuing down
the steep embankment. The
driver was extricated from
the vehicle using the Jaws of
Life by Spray Fire and Res-
cue and Wheeler County
deputies. The driver was
later airlifted to St. Charles in
Bend for medical treatment.
Princess Towing responded
but was unable to remove
the vehicle and trailer from
the scene with the equip-
ment available and plans to
return on Jan. 10 to remove
vehicle and trailer. The Ore-
gon Department of Transpor-
tation from Wheeler County
assisted with traffic control.
The driver will be cited for
driving while suspended and
careless driving.

bound on Highway 20
between Mitchell and Day-
ville and came across a
motor vehicle crash. The
vehicle was partially in the
westbound ditch and strad-
dling the fog line. Located
the occupants of the vehi-
cle nearby in a passerby’s
vehicle. The operator stated
he was traveling westbound

ing and traveling along the
embankment. The crash was
determined to be a nonre-
portable crash.
