UPDATE: Passenger Killed in Crash Near PDX Identified (Photo) - 05/01/21

***This version corrects a mistake in the headline***

The passenger killed in Thursday’s fatal crash near Portland International Airport is identified as Jamie R. Pallviny-Brown, 43. Her family has been notified of her death.

The investigation reveals that she was in the passenger seat of a 1995 Ford Mustang convertible (photo) when it crashed into a Freightliner tractor with a box trailer. Evidence at the scene indicates the Mustang was traveling west on Northeast Cornfoot Road at a high rate of speed and collided with the broadside of the trailer, in front of the rear wheels, as it was pulling out of a driveway. The Mustang went under the trailer and came out the other side.

The passenger of the Mustang was pronounced dead at the scene and the driver of the Mustang, a 56-year old male, was transported to an area hospital with serious injuries. The driver of the semi, a 40-year-old male, was not hurt. He remained at the scene and showed no signs of impairment. No charges have been filed, but the investigation is continuing. If anyone has information about this crash, please contact Traffic Investigator Officer Chris Johnson at Chris.Johnson@portlandoregon.gov or call 503-823-2213.

This is the 24th traffic related fatality for 2021 in the City of Portland, which is an 85% increase over this time last year.
