It is with great sadness that the Marion County Sheriff's Office reports two people lost their lives in a head-on crash on Marion Road early Wednesday morning.
On June 17, 2026, at approximately 12:00 a.m., deputies responded to a two-vehicle crash in the 14000 block of Marion Road NE.
The preliminary investigation indicates a Kia crossed the centerline and collided head-on with a Volkswagen Passat. Both vehicles were occupied solely by their drivers.
Despite the efforts of first responders, both drivers sustained fatal injuries and were pronounced deceased at the scene. The deceased have been identified as a 16-year-old female and 22-year-old Blaik Peruchetti.
Marion Road was closed for several hours while members of the Marion County CRASH Team conducted an on-scene investigation. The cause of the crash remains under investigation.
The Marion County Sheriff's Office was assisted by the Marion County CRASH Team, METCOM 911, Willamette Valley Communications Center (WVCC), Jefferson Fire District, and emergency medical responders.
The loss of two young lives is a tragedy that impacts not only their families and friends, but our entire community. Our hearts go out to all those who knew and loved them during this incredibly difficult time. We ask the community to keep their families in their thoughts as they navigate this unimaginable loss.
