On Friday September 14, 2018 at about 4:30 pm, Oregon State Police along with the Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office responded to the scene of a two vehicle crash on Highway 97 near Odem Avenue, south of Terrebonne. The investigation revealed that a black 2008 Harley Davidson motorcycle, operated by 68 year old Terrebonne resident Robert Constant, had been traveling northbound when traffic congestion forced vehicles in front of him to slow. Constant lost control of the motorcycle and laid it down while attempting to stop. The motorcycle slid and crashed into a green 1995 Geo Metro, operated by 51 year old Culver resident Traci Sauls, who sustained minor injury. Constant was transported by ground ambulance to a Redmond Area Hospital and then was transported via air ambulance to a Bend Area Hospital. Constant was pronounced deceased at the hospital as a result of injuries sustained in the crash. Speed and following distance are believed to be a contributing factor in the crash.
