A tragic incident unfolded last Thursday morning when Oregon State Police were called to the scene of a fatal car crash in Baker County. The accident, involving a single vehicle, took the life of 26-year-old Devin Orion Rasmussen of Halfway.
According to
Oregon State Police report
, the crash occurred on Hwy 86, near milepost 28, at approximately 8:33 a.m. It appears Rasmussen, who was driving eastbound in a Toyota Corolla, failed to negotiate a corner, subsequently causing the vehicle to veer off the road and overturn into the river.
Rasmussen was pronounced dead at the scene of the accident. The incident resulted in disruptions along the highway for about two hours as OSP conducted their on-scene investigation. Travelers encountered delays and were advised to seek alternative routes during this period.
Investigation efforts were supported by members of the Baker County Sheriff’s Office and ODOT who assisted OSP at the site of the crash. While the preliminary investigation has shared some light on the possible cause, the specifics around why Rasmussen lost control of the vehicle remain unclear, the highway conditions at the time of the accident have not been detailed in reports.
