Morrow County, Oregon (OR) – On November 28, 2023, a two-vehicle crash was investigated by Oregon State Police on Interstate 84, near milepost 168, in Morrow County, OR.
Around 5:02 a.m., according to the preliminary investigation, a westbound Kia Sorrento driven by 33-year-old Samuel Burgus from Umatilla was halted in traffic owing to a detour caused by another incident. As the Kia slowed to merge into the slow lane, a Dodge Ram 1500 driven by Miron Kosovan, a 23-year-old from Kennewick (WA), failed to slow due to traffic and collided with the Kia’s back end in the fast lane. Alexander James Pace, 36-year-old from Hermiston, a passenger in the Kia, was pronounced dead at the scene.
Oscar Sanchez, 49-year-old, the passenger, and the driver of the Kia (Burgus) were both injured. Liobaldo Villa Campos, 36-year-old from Hermiston, Kia’s fourth occupant, was critically injured. On-scene, the Dodge operator (Kosovan) was examined for injuries.
The freeway was closed for around three hours for investigation. Boardman Fire, the Morrow County Sheriff’s Office, and ODOT all supported OSP.
