Fatal Malheur Co., Jan. 3

On January 2, 2018, at approximately 4:15AM, Oregon State Police Troopers responded to a single vehicle crash on Interstate 84 near milepost 361, which is in Malheur County and 13 miles west of Ontario. The preliminary investigation has determined that a 1997 Chevrolet S-10 Blazer was eastbound on I-84, when for unknown reasons drifted off the median shoulder, steered back onto roadway and the operator then lost control sliding off the median shoulder where it tripped and rolled down the median, coming to rest in the westbound lanes. The driver was ejected and pronounced deceased on scene. At this time we are not able to release the name of the driver until the family has been notified.
