On July 14, 2015, at around 11:15PM, OSP Troopers and emergency personnel responded to HWY 46 (Caves Highway) near milepost 6 on the report of a rollover serious injury crash. According to Sergeant Jeff Proulx, a 1990 Toyota 4runner was eastbound on HWY 46 when it left the roadway and struck a large tree. The operator, Dalton H BROWN, age 24, of Grants Pass was pronounced deceased upon emergency crews arriving on scene. Initial investigation appears speed may have been a factor. OSP was assisted by the Illinois Valley Fire Department, American Medical Response and the Oregon Department of Transportation. The investigation is continuing and more information will be released when it is available.
