Shortly after 1:00am on October 15, 2026, multiple law enforcement agencies in Clackamas County responded to reports of a wrong-way driver traveling southbound in the northbound lanes of Interstate 205 near Johnson Creek Boulevard. Responding officers attempted to stop the vehicle, but those efforts were unsuccessful. The incident ended when the vehicle collided with a marked Oregon City Police Department patrol car near exit to 82nd Drive.
Fortunately, no serious injuries were reported. The Oregon City police officer involved in the crash was transported to a local hospital for evaluation and was later released. Oregon State Police investigated the crash and arrested the driver, identified as 63-year-old Edward Landgrebe III of Estacada, on suspicion of DUII. Landgrebe was later lodged at the Clackamas County Jail.
This crash serves as a sobering reminder of the dangers impaired driving poses to the public and the officers working to keep our roads safe. We are grateful that this incident did not result in more serious injuries and appreciate the officers who put themselves in harm’s way to protect our community.
