KENT, OR -- A 23-year-old Prineville man was killed in a Sherman County crash Monday night. Oregon State Police say Jayden Matthew Smith was northbound on Highway 97, just before midnight, when his car crossed into the southbound lane for an unknown reason.

His VW Beetle hit a tractor-trailer head on, causing both vehicles to catch fire. Smith was declared dead at the scene. The other driver was unhurt.

Highway 97 was closed near the town of Kent for more than six hours for the investigation.
