Bend Man Unhurt In Weekend Fatal Crash On Hwy 22

IDANHA, OR -- A Salem man was killed in a weekend crash that shut down Highway 22 in Marion County for four hours. State Police responded to the report of a multi-vehicle crash near Idanha, just before 4 p.m. Sunday. 

Investigators say it appears Alberto Avila-Perez was westbound when he lost control of his Honda Civic and hit a boulder. The Civic overturned and traveled into oncoming traffic, where it clipped a cargo trailer towed by an SUV, which was driven by 70-year-old Randall Pefferle, of Bend. The Civic then crashed head on into a Subaru, driven by a Salem woman.

Avila-Perez was pronounced dead at the scene. His passenger was taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries. No one else was hurt.
