At 1658 Friday afternoon Sweet Home Fire District was dispatched to a report of a head on collision near MP 16 on Hwy 228. A command vehicle and one medic unit responded initially with reports of one occupant still trapped in the vehicle. Life Flight was requested but due to weather, was unavailable to fly. With the provided information, command requested a second medic unit respond to scene and upgraded to a first alarm for “man power” to help assist with the call. Upon commands arrival, two vehicles were found to be involved. One patient was a passenger of the vehicle which sustained significant damage to the drivers side. That patient was transported to Lebanon Community Hospital for non-life threatening injuries. That same vehicles operator was declared deceased upon arrival of emergency crews. The other patient who was the lone occupant of the second vehicle was transported to Good Samaritan Regional Medical Center for significant injuries. The crash is under investigation by Oregon State Police. A total of nine personnel from Sweet Home Fire District responded. We would like to thank ODOT, Oregon State Police, and Linn County Sheriff's Office for their help.
