On August 16th at shortly before 2:00 pm, deputies responded to a motorcycle versus car crash in the 3000 block of Matheny Road NE in northern Marion County. The rider of the motorcycle sustained serious injuries during the crash and was taken by Life Flight to an area hospital.
During the initial investigation deputies were able to determine the involved vehicles, a 2012 Honda motorcycle and a 2013 Mazda M3, were both going westbound on Matheny Road NE prior to the crash. The driver of the Mazda is believed to have been making a turn into a driveway when the motorcycle struck them from behind. Speed is not believed to have been a contributing factor to the crash.
The driver of the motor cycle has been identified as Andrey Feoktistov, a 34-year-old Woodburn man. He is currently in critical condition.
The Marion County Sheriff’s Office was assisted by Woodburn Fire District, Life Flight Network, and Woodburn Ambulance.
