Marion County, Oregon (OR) – On October 21, 2023, OSP responded to a collision between a car and a pedestrian on Interstate 5, near milepost 271, in Marion County, OR.
According to the preliminary findings of the inquiry, Elvin Miranda Martinez a 28-year-old of Junction City, was driving a southbound Toyota Corolla that had been involved in multiple driving complaints before it collided with the center median near milepost 293 on Interstate 5. While OSP units were dispatched, the suspect vehicle fled the site of the initial collision and drove southbound at a high rate of speed, impacting the median twice before becoming stalled in the median. When the suspect tried to steal the driver’s car keys, a worried motorist pulled over to see how he was doing. The suspect ran across the northbound lanes on foot as Woodburn Police officers arrived at the scene before being hit by a Honda CR-V.
After being taken to a nearby hospital, the suspect (Martinez) was later pronounced dead by medical staff. The driver of the Honda was unharmed and cooperating with the authorities. During the on-site inquiry, there was a 2.5 hour delay in traffic on the highway.
The Woodburn Fire Department, Woodburn Police Department, Hubbard Police Department, and ODOT provided assistance to OSP.
