A semi-truck collided into a stalled Honda CVR on Interstate 84 on Thursday night killing the driver of the Honda.
According to the Oregon State Police, the accident happened around 11:40 p.m. near milepost 186 in Umatilla County.
The driver of the black 2002 Honda, John Patrick Carver, 58, of Quincy, Wash., called for help after the vehicle reportedly stopped in the westbound slow lane of I-84 with no lights on and had nearly been hit by another motorist. As troopers were responding, a white 2023 International semi-truck, driven by Mark Allen Farish, 45, of Meridian, Idaho, collided with the Honda CRV. The Honda CRV came to rest on the north shoulder of the interstate with severe damage. The driver was pronounced dead. The driver of the semi-truck sustained minor injuries.
OSP was assisted by the Stanfield Police Department, Umatilla County Fire District #1, the Umatilla County Sheriffs’ Office, and the Oregon Department of Transportation.
People really outta try to slow down , remember better slowly but surely than rapidly but in doubt.
When your auto is having trouble you go to the shoulder of the road. Who leaves a auto in left lane with lights off . I feel bad for the trucker
