OSP seeks witnesses to I-5 fatal crash

The Oregon State Police needs the public’s help with an early-morning fatal crash that occurred on Interstate 5.

OSP reported that at 2:22 a.m., troopers responded to a report of a pedestrian struck by a vehicle on I-5 southbound near milepost 223, which is about 5 miles south of the Corvallis-Lebanon exit. The pedestrian, who was not identified, was declared deceased at the scene.

OSP had received additional reports of a vehicle that crashed into the cable barriers on I-5 northbound and a pedestrian in traffic on I-5 southbound in the same vicinity. 

The vehicle that crashed into the cable barrier is believed to be associated with the pedestrian, OSP said. As of Friday afternoon, the vehicle and driver that struck the pedestrian had not been located. 

Investigators are asking any witnesses to the incident to contact OSP’s Northern Command Center at 800-442-0776 or call *OSP (*677) from a mobile device (reference case number #SP24363614).
