(SALEM, Ore.) - There was a two vehicle crash on Highway 26 near milepost 49 (north of Banks) early Monday morning, about 6:44, resulting in one fatality.

Oregon State Police and emergency personnel responded and their preliminary investigation revealed a 2003 Chevrolet pickup was traveling westbound on Highway 26 when it crossed over the centerline for unknown reasons.

The Chevrolet collided head-on with an eastbound 1993 Peterbilt commercial motor truck towing a trailer loaded with logs.

The driver of the Chevrolet, 20-year old Bradley Cole Vandehey, of Hillsboro, was pronounced deceased on scene by emergency personnel. The driver of the truck, 32-year old Raymond Michael Scott, of Tillamook, was injured and transported to OHSU where he was treated and released.

Contributing factors to the crash are still under investigation.

Highway 26 was closed for over six hours with an established detour. OSP was assisted by the Oregon Department of Transportation, Banks Fire Department and Washington County Sheriff's Office.
