Injury Motor Vehicle Crash
Date: 07/13/19
By: Sergeant Troy Gotchy
Vehicle 1: Green 1999 Subaru Forester
Driver 1: Male Juvenile, Bend, OR
Vehicle 2: White 2019 Toyota Sequoia
Driver 2: Ceniga, Gloria 68 years of age Bend, OR
Vehicle 3: White 2015 Hyundai Santa Fe
Driver 3: DuPont Gayosso, Anna Laura 28 years of age, Bend, OR
On 07/13/19 at approximately 1453 hours, the Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office was dispatched to an unknown injury motor vehicle crash on Deschutes Market Road and View Lane. It was reported that three vehicles were involved, and they were blocking one lane of travel.
Upon arrival, Deputies found the south bound lane blocked by the Subaru and the Toyota. One lane remained open during the investigation. The Bend Fire Department was also dispatched, and transported the male juvenile and Ceniga to St. Charles Bend with non-life threatening injuries.
The investigation showed that DuPont-Gayosso, who was driving the Hyundai, had stopped in the south bound lane of Deschutes Market Road to make a left hand turn on to View Lane. Ceniga stopped her Toyota behind the Hyundai waiting for them to turn. The male juvenile driving the Subaru then rear ended the Toyota pushing it into the rear of the Hyundai. Speed, alcohol, and drugs do not appear to be factors in this crash. Deschutes Market was reduced to one lane with temporary full road closures to allow emergency vehicles and tow trucks in and out of the scene. The Sheriff’s Office was assisted at the scene by the Bend Fire Department.
