Malheur County, Oregon (OR) – On Friday, April 21, 2023, Oregon State Police responded to the accident that happened around 1:48 in the afternoon on Highway 95, near milepost 10 in Malheur County, OR.

A Honda Civic, driven by Andrew Koehler, 31-year-old of Santa Cruz, California, was traveling southbound. He entered the northbound lane so he can overtake a few vehicles, but he sideswiped a southbound Dodge Ram 2500, driven by Dexter Hegerhorst, 37-year-old of Adrian, Oregon. Another vehicle, a southbound Toyota Camry driven by Trulee Shirley, 21-year-old, Wallace of Lewiston, Idaho, was also caught up in the sideswiping.

Koehler lost control, slid sideways and was T-boned by Robert Odell, 63-year-old of Eagle, Idaho, driving a northbound Jaguar. Koehler was pronounced dead at the scene. Meanwhile, Odell and his passenger, Jacqueline Odell, 66-year-old, were taken to St. Alphonsus Hospital in Boise, Idaho. Hegerhorst, the driver of the Dodge Ram, did not sustain any injuries, as did the animals he was towing in a horse trailer. Wallace, the Toyota Camry driver, was not injured as well.

The Oregon State Police was assisted by ODOT, Life Flight, and Jordan Valley Ambulance.
