Driver Identified from Sunday's Fatal Crash

BEND, OR -- Bend Police are investigating a fatal crash that occurred Sunday night in southeast Bend. 

 

Multiple people reported the single-vehicle rollover, just before 10 p.m. on Fargo Lane. Arriving officers found a pickup resting on its top in a residential driveway. Firefighters pulled the driver from the wreckage; he was pronounced dead at the scene. 

 

Investigators believe the truck was northbound on Fargo Lane when it left the road, struck something on the shoulder and rolled over. Speed appears to have been a factor in the crash. The driver's name has not been released, and police do not yet know whether intoxicants contributed to the crash. 

 

UPDATE: The driver has been identified as 33-year old Bend resident, Derrek Wesley Finnell. The toxicology report is still unavailable.
