LA PINE, OR -- The Deschutes County Sheriff's Office continues to investigate a multi-vehicle crash that left a La Pine man dead and two others hurt, Monday afternoon.
According to investigators, 66-year-old Warren Hensman was waiting to make a left turn into The Corner Store, just after 12:30, when he was rear-ended by a tow truck. The impact pushed Hensman’s pickup into oncoming traffic where it was struck head-on by a car. He was extricated by medics, but died on the way to the hospital.
The two occupants of the High Lakes Towing truck were unhurt. The driver and a 10-year-old boy in the other car were both taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
Burgess road was closed for several hours to allow for the investigation.
