A Vancouver man and a Portland man were killed Dec. 14 in a two-vehicle crash in Fairview, Ore.
The Multnomah County, Ore., Sheriff’s Office identified the drivers Monday as Robert Dean Clawson, 25, and Brandon Cortes-Cayetano, 19, respectively.
Deputies had responded around 7 a.m. to the crash near Northeast Glisan Street and West Pond Drive. Upon arrival, they found a Volkswagen Jetta, driven by Cortes-Cayetano, and a Subaru Impreza, driven by Clawson, both heavily damaged, according to a sheriff’s office news release.
Both drivers were pronounced dead at the scene. They were the only occupants in each vehicle.
The East County Vehicular Crimes Team responded to investigate. It determined the vehicles were traveling in opposite directions on Glisan when the Volkswagen crossed the center line and collided with the Subaru, the sheriff’s office said. The crash investigation is ongoing.
