NARRATIVE:

 

On 9/3/24 at 12:59 p.m., deputies with the Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office were dispatched to a vehicle crash on East Cascade Avenue, between S. Fir St and S. Spruce St.  The initial caller reported the vehicle had flipped over on Cascade Avenue and was blocking the roadway. 

 

Upon arrival, deputies located a black 2018 Honda Pilot resting on its driver’s side and facing west in the westbound lane.   Cascade Avenue was shut down and traffic was re-routed around the scene.

 

Medics from the Sisters-Camp Sherman Rural Fire Protection District arrived on scene and began evaluating the occupants of the Honda, who had extricated themselves from the vehicle.   Medics determined the driver and two minor passengers were uninjured and were not transported by medics. 

 

Deputies determined the crash occurred when the driver of the Honda Pilot, Preston Langeliers, was driving westbound on Cascade Avenue and he left his lane of travel  while reaching for an unknown object. 

 

Langeliers first struck the driver’s side mirror of a 2018 Subaru Forester, which was parked on the north side of Cascade Avenue.   Langeliers then continued westbound and struck the left rear corner of a parked 2023 Toyota Camry, which caused Langeliers’ vehicle to roll up onto its driver’s side.  Langeliers’ vehicle came to rest in the westbound lane of Cascade Avenue.  The Toyota Camry was pushed forward, where it struck a 2023 Volkswagen Taos, which was also parked on the north side of Cascade Avenue. 

 

Cascade Avenue, also designated as Highway 20 West, was closed down for approximately one hour due to this crash.   

 

The Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office was assisted by the Oregon State Police, the Oregon Department of Transportation and the city of Sisters Public Works department.
