On February 14, 2018 at about 12:35 a.m., OSP troopers and first responders were dispatched at a motor vehicle crash involving a pedestrian on Highway 26 at milepost 22. Preliminary investigation revealed a pedestrian identified as Raphael Frederick CALDERA, age 51, from Warm Springs, was attempting to cross the highway when he was struck by a westbound 2007 Nissan Sentra, operated by Sarah WALL, age 33, from Boring.
