Warrenton man dies in Tillamook County crash
A motorcyclist from War-
renton was killed Tuesday
when he struck an oncoming
pickup on a rural road in Til-
lamook County.
Adam Taylor, 26, was
headed south on Miami-Fo-
ley Road about 11 a.m. when
he crossed into the north-
bound lane and collided with
a Ford F550 driven by Jose
Hernandez, 32, of Portland,
according to Oregon State
Police.
When troopers arrived,
they found Taylor had died of

ries. A passenger in the truck,
Rosalio Herrera Morelos, 54,
of Vancouver, Wash., was un-

Miami-Foley Road was
closed for several hours while
troopers investigated the
crash. They believe speed
and motorcycle inexperience
contributed to the collision,
according to OSP.
Tillamook County Sheriff’s
Office, Garibaldi Fire, Tilla-

Correction
The city of Warrenton rais-
es about $60,000 per year
through the business license
fee. A story in last week’s edi-
tion misstated the amount.
