An Elkton man died and a Vancouver man was injured in a three-vehicle crash Tuesday afternoon on Highway 38 in Douglas County.
According to Oregon State Police, the crash occurred about five miles east of Scottsburg. Police say 48-year old David Michael Lawson drove into the westbound lane and struck a westbound Semi-truck. The collision caused Lawson's vehicle to spin uncontrollably and it was hit by another westbound vehicle before rolling and coming to rest on its side.
The driver of the semi-truck suffered minor injuries and was taken to a hospital.
The other driver was reportedly uninjured according to OSP.
The road was affected for about 5 hours for the on-scene investigation.
