DESCHUTES COUNTY-On April 1, 2022, at approximately 4:45 P.M., Oregon State Police Troopers and emergency personnel responded to a two-vehicle crash on Hwy 372 (Cascade Lakes Hwy) near milepost 7.

Preliminary investigation revealed that an eastbound gray Subaru Crosstrek, operated by Forrest Anton-Erik (23) of Bend, crossed over a double yellow line and collided head-on with a westbound blue Toyota pickup, operated by Catherine Hane (27) of Weaverville, CA.

Hane was transported to an area hospital with serious but non-life-threatening injuries. Anton-Erik was also transported to the hospital with injuries. Anton-Erik’s blood alcohol content was .14% and he was cited in lieu of custody for DUII, Assault III, and Reckless Driving.
