A Portland man crashed his Porsche into several trees along Highway 126 late Monday afternoon.
The driver was transported to the hospital via Life Flight, suffering serious injuries. Speed was believed to be a factor in the wreck.
A Porsche traveling at a high rate of speed careened off Highway 126 Monday evening and crashed into roadside trees.
According to sheriff's office reports, the driver, 58-year-old Grant Prentice of Portland, was seriously injured and transported via Life Flight air ambulance to St. Charles Medical Center in Bend.
The sheriff's office reports that Prentice was driving westbound in a blue 200 Porsche Carrera and narrowly missed a westbound cyclist. Hitting the curve near Buckhorn Lane, the vehicle left the roadway on the westbound shoulder. The vehicle hit the cinders and continued off road until it struck two pine trees. The vehicle then struck a third pine tree with the driver's side of the vehicle. The pine tree broke into pieces and the vehicle came to rest facing south on the north side of the highway.
Life Flight landed at nearby Aspen Lakes to transport the driver to the hospital.
The sheriff's office notes that the investigation is continuing. Any witnesses to this crash are encouraged to contact the Sheriff's Office at 541-693-6911.
The Oregon State Police and the Oregon Department of Transportation assisted at the scene of the crash.
