Deputies are investigating a fatal crash reported just before 9:30 p.m. on July 4th, 2021. The single-vehicle crash occurred in the 13500 block of Ehlen Road NE near Aurora in northern Marion County. Just before the crash the involved vehicle, a 2007 Porsche 911, was seen going eastbound on Ehlen Road at a high rate of speed by a Canby Police sergeant who was going westbound. Canby Police did not attempt to initiate a traffic stop on the vehicle, losing sight of the car while turning around.
The Canby Police sergeant came upon the crash a short time later where witnesses had already stopped to attempt to help the occupants of the Porsche. The Porsche had partially caught fire which was extinguished by the Canby Police.
The driver was pronounced deceased at the scene despite life saving efforts from medical personnel. The driver has been identified as Guy Reed (35) of Tualatin. The passenger in the Porsche has been identified as Jenna Mansfield, 28, also from Tualatin. Mansfield was transported to a Portland-area hospital, her injuries are non-life-threatening.
The Sheriff’s Office would like to thank the Aurora Fire District, Canby Fire District, Canby Police Department, Marion County Medical Examiner’s Office, Marion County District Attorney’s Office, Marion County Public Works, and Oregon State Police for their assistance with this incident.
The investigation into the crash is ongoing at this time; no additional information is available for release.
