A Ridgefield woman was involved in a four-vehicle crash that killed an Oregon woman Tuesday south of Madras, Ore. Her condition was not immediately known.
Oregon State Police troopers and emergency personnel responded shortly after 1:30 p.m. to the multivehicle crash on Highway 97 near Milepost 100 in Jefferson County.
According to troopers, the preliminary investigation found that northbound traffic was stopped for a vehicle making a left turn onto Southwest Bear Drive. A northbound Volvo tractor-trailer, operated by Inderjit Sign, 57, of Yuba City, Calif., struck the back of a stopped Toyota RAV 4, driven by Rebecca Martinez, 36, of West Linn, Ore.
The tractor-trailer then crossed into the oncoming lane and collided with a BMW, driven by 39-year-old Renee Connors of Ridgefield, and a Volvo, driven by Nadia Rankov Adams, 52, of Redmond, Ore., troopers said.
