Local man injured in Highway 20 wreck

A Sisters man was injured Friday afternoon in a near-head-on crash involving a car and commercial truck on Highway 20, about four miles west of Tumalo.

On February 3 at about 1:29 p.m., a 2006 Mercedes driven by Jack Graham, 68, from Sisters, was westbound on Highway 20 near milepost 13 negotiating a curve when it crossed the centerline and collided with an eastbound 2000 Peterbuilt truck pulling a flatbed trailer loaded with lumber. A third vehicle, a 2009 Honda Civic, drove into the ditch to avoid the collision.

Graham was transported by ambulance to St. Charles Medical Center in Bend with non-life-threatening injuries. He was cited by OSP for failure to drive on the right side of the highway.

The truck's driver, Steven C. Jorgensen, 53, of Newell, Iowa, was not injured. The lumber did not spill. The Honda's driver was not injured.

Senior Trooper Joseph Craig is completing the investigation. The highway was closed about two hours.
