This morning, February 5th, 2025, at approximately 5:15 AM, the Marion County Sheriff’s Office responded to a single-vehicle crash near the 10600 Block of Mill Creek Rd SE, just outside of Aumsville.
First responders arrived to find the vehicle crashed into a power pole. Tragically, the driver and only occupant was pronounced deceased. He was identified as Nathan Allen, 23, of Aumsville. Our condolences go out to his family during this difficult time.
The roadway was closed for several hours for the investigation, and it does not appear alcohol was a factor in the crash. The roadway is now open, but there could be intermittent traffic delays with PGE completing their work.
Thank you to the following agencies that assisted in this case: The Marion County CRASH Team, Marion County UAS, Aumsville Fire Department, Marion County Medical Examiner’s Office, Marion County Public Works, METCOM 911, and the Willamette Valley Communications Center.
