On September 14, 2024 at 3:01am deputies responded to a report of a two-vehicle, serious-injury crash in the 16500 block of SE Foster Rd in east Multnomah County. Shortly after arriving at the scene, deputies determined that one of the drivers was deceased.
The driver of the other vehicle, TITAS SHMIGEL, age 29 from Damascus, was arrested and later lodged at the Multnomah County Detention Center on the following charges:
SE Foster Rd was closed for several hours between SE Jenne Rd and SE 172nd Ave while the East County Vehicular Crimes Team investigated the crash. This team is comprised of members from the Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office and the Gresham Police Department.
The identity of the driver who died in the crash will be released at a later date once notification to the victim’s family has been made.
