BANDON, OR — A head-on accident killed two drivers in Bandon, Oregon on Monday, June 30th, 2014, according to the news report from Oregon Live.
Representatives familiar with details of the accident say that Donald Dodge was killed when the Honda Accord he was driving collided head-on with a Honda Element on Highway 101 around 3:30 Monday afternoon.
Scene of the Accident
Donald Dodge was killed in the crash, as was the driver of the other vehicle, identified in the report as Virginia Woodson. No other injuries were mentioned in the news.
The Oregon State Police hope to release the results of their investigation at a later date, and hope any eyewitnesses that have yet to come forward will do so to help police understand the fatal collision.
Commentary:
The liability in crossover accidents can be difficult to determine, especially when there are no survivors. In these situations, investigators usually look at the skid marks on the road to try and place the vehicles to the best of their ability. If authorities can determine which of the vehicles did the crossing over, that person would more than likely bear the liability in the crash, unless there are details in the news I have not come across, or if there are any new developments.
