Madras Man, Child Killed In Klamath County Crash

CHILOQUIN, OR -- A Madras man and his son were killed in a Monday evening crash north of Chiloquin. State Police say troopers responded to a three-vehicle crash on Hwy 97 in Klamath County, near milepost 235.

Their preliminary investigation indicates a semi truck towing a fuel tank, was southbound on Hwy 97 when it lost control and crossed into the northbound lane, striking a Chevrolet Suburban.  The momentum carried the semi into a Dodge Ram pickup, parked on the side of the highway. 

As a result of the crash, 36-year-old Roberto Raygoza Rosales, of Madras, was declared dead at the scene. His 12-year-old son Roberto Raygoza Jr. was also killed, according to a GoFundMe Page created to raise money for the boy's funeral. Both were in the Suburban. Multiple other injuries were also reported.

OSP is currently conducting a criminal investigation of the collision.
