The preliminary investigation indicated the Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office had been in pursuit of a white 2002 Lexus, operated by Douglas Richard York (54) of Crooked River Ranch, on I-205 southbound near West Linn. The sheriff’s office had been attempting to stop the vehicle for a speeding violation. While continuing southbound, the Lexus rear-ended a gray Volkswagen Golf operated by Christian James Coerper (34) of Oregon City.

The operator of the Lexus (York) was pronounced deceased at the scene.

The highway was impacted for approximately four hours during the on-scene investigation. OSP was assisted by the Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office and the Oregon Department of Transportation.

York was later identified as the subject of a statewide felony warrant and statewide BOLO from earlier in the day. Questions related to the pursuit should be directed to the Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office. OSP is the investigating agency for the fatal crash.
