A Pendleton man was killed Thursday in a two-vehicle crash in Baker City.
On Aug.4, 2016 at about 11:56 a.m., Oregon State Police (OSP) troopers and emergency personnel responded to the report of a two-vehicle fatal crash at an intersection of A Street and 2nd Street in Baker City.
Preliminary information indicates that a 2002 Dodge Stratus, operated by Yvonne N. Hesseltine, 59, of Baker City, and passenger Raisan C. Hesseltine, age 40, of Baker City, was traveling westbound on A Street when the Stratus struck a southbound 2015 Chevy Equinox operated by Ronald R. Fisher, 59, of Pendleton, on the driver’s side. This resulted with the Equinox rolling over onto its top. Fisher was ejected and fatally injured and safety restraint use may have been a contributing factor.
Fisher was pronounced dead at the scene by emergency crews and Raisan Hesseltine was transported by ambulance to Saint Alphonsus Medical Center in Baker City for minor injuries. Yvonne Hesseltine was not injured in the crash.
The intersection was closed for four hours as the investigation was conducted and the wreckage removed.
