A crossover crash killed one person and injured three Wednesday afternoon on Highway 30 near the Sauvie Island Bridge.
Oregon State Police say a red 2004 Ford Ranger pickup, driven by 58-year-old Lewis Demars, of Scappoose, was traveling eastbound on US 30 when the Ranger crossed over the centerline and into oncoming, westbound traffic.
The Ranger struck a 2012 Toyota Camry, driven by 46-year-old Steven Richards, of Vancouver, Washington, nearly head-on. The Camry began to spin and hit the side of a 2007 Kenworth dump truck, driven by 38-year-old Michael Williams, of Portland, which was also traveling westbound.
After colliding with the dump truck, the Camry traveled across the centerline and into oncoming eastbound traffic, where it collided head-on with a 2010 Honda Fit, operated by 61-year-old Laurie Davis, of Scappoose. The Ranger continued eastbound a short distance after striking the Camry, where it crashed head-on into a 2003 GMC utility van, operated by Breckon Scott, age 26, of Camas, Washington, that was traveling westbound.
Demars was pronounced deceased at the scene. Richards, Davis and Scott were transported to Emanuel Hospital with injuries. Williams was uninjured and remained on scene.
Both lanes of US 30 remained closed for approximately three hours while Troopers investigated the crash. Oregon State Police was assisted on scene by Portland Police Bureau, Multnomah County Sheriff's Office, Portland Fire and Rescue, Scappoose Fire and Rescue and Oregon Department of Transportation.
