Two Vancouver women were identified as passengers in a single-vehicle crash caused by a falling tree limb that killed the driver.
A 2001 Saturn was traveling east on the Historic Columbia River Highway when a tree limb fell onto the car just east of Latourel Falls at about 3 p.m. Sunday, according to the Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office.
The limb crushed the driver’s side of the vehicle, and the driver, Jorge Figueroa Roman, 27, of Covington, died at the scene.
The passengers, 57-year-old Rosalba Ortega and 20-year-old Rosa Ortega, both of Vancouver, sustained injuries described as not life-threatening, deputies said.
