Portland, OR (October 6, 2024) – A tragic car accident occurred Sunday, October 6, in Cowlitz County, resulting in the death of one man and serious injuries to a child. The incident took place just before 11 a.m. at the intersection of North Pacific Avenue and Ostrander Avenue, as reported by officials with Cowlitz 2 Fire & Rescue.

The vehicle involved in the crash was carrying three children, aged 2, 7, and 9. Following the accident, the car went down an embankment, coming to rest approximately 50 feet off the road and scattering rocks across the area. Remarkably, one of the children managed to exit the vehicle after the crash and flagged down an oncoming driver for help. This driver promptly called 911 to report the incident.

Emergency responders quickly arrived at the scene, including two fire engines, three medical units, a ladder truck, three support vehicles, and three chief officers, along with troopers from the Washington State Patrol. The response was swift and coordinated, reflecting the urgency of the situation.

Life Flight was dispatched to the scene to transport the critically injured 9-year-old to Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) in Portland for treatment of multiple injuries. The other two children sustained minor injuries, while the adult in the vehicle tragically lost their life.

Our thoughts are with the family affected by this devastating accident, and we hope for a swift recovery for the injured children.
