August 27, 2019

Harney County – One Juvenile is dead and 3 injured in a single vehicle accident in the early morning of August 27th, 2019 on HWY 20 of Harney County Oregon a few miles outside of Burns Oregon near the weigh station on HWY 20. 

According to Oregon State Police a GMC Acadia, driven by Moriah Shackelford (28) of LaPine Oregon, was driving westbound when the vehicle left the roadway and struck a raised driveway causing the vehicle to become airborne.

There were four juveniles in the vehicle:

2 were treated locally for injuries

1 was transported to Portland by air ambulance

1 sustained fatal injuries and was pronounced deceased at the scene.

Shackelford sustained minor injuries. The accident is still under investigation.

 

Often when someone is in a single-vehicle accident they feel as though there is little recourse to collect money to pay for the damages done. The driver’s insurance is responsible for everyone in the car and can be pursued to help pay for the damages done.
