State police: One dead after Hwy 99 crash - KMTR NewsSource 16
-- Oregon State Police troopers are continuing the investigation into Friday morning's fatal crash. The crash happened at the intersection of Highway 99 and Clear Lake Road, about four miles north of Eugene. At about 9:00 a. m. , a 2003 GMC Sonoma pickup being driven by a 29-year-old Eugene man was eastbound on Clear Lake Road approaching Highway 99. Witnesses told state police that the driver entered the intersection against a red stop light and... Troopers say the man was wearing a seat belt, but he fell out of the vehicle as it was coming to a stop. Because of the pickup's final rest position next to the railroad tracks, the railroad company was notified and stopped railroad traffic until the scene was cleared. Source: www.kmtr.com
