Highway 224 was partially closed for nearly two hours as troopers examined the crash site and crews worked to clear the area. Oregon State Police were assisted by the Clackamas Brush Fire Unit 312 and the Oregon Department of Transportation.
The community mourns the sudden and heartbreaking loss of a young life along this rural stretch of roadway, as investigators continue working to determine the full circumstances surrounding the crash.
