Oregon State Police (OSP) is asking for the public's help to identify the person(s) responsible for dropping a cinder block from an Interstate 5 overpass early Sunday morning that broke through a passing vehicle's windshield and injured a woman inside the car.
On April 13, 2014 at approximately 4:28 a.m., a 2012 Toyota Camry driven by MICHAEL BECKER, age 28, from Roy, Washington, was northbound on Interstate 5 in the right lane traveling under the E. Oregon Avenue overpass in Creswell when a cinder block fell from the overpass and came through the windshield. The block struck passenger TIFFANY BECKER, age 30, in her face causing non-life threatening injury.
TIFFANY BECKER was transported by ambulance to Sacred Heart Medical Center at RiverBend for treatment. The driver was not injured.
OSP troopers from the Springfield Area Command office responded to the scene and are continuing the investigation. Troopers received information that four unidentified persons, two on bicycles and two on skateboards, were in the area around the time of the incident but don't know if they are connected with the investigation.
Anyone with information to help identify the four subjects or who saw suspicious activity in the vicinity of the overpass at approximately 4:28 a.m. Sunday morning is asked to contact OSP Trooper Gerald Ellis at (541) 726-2536 or GEllis@osp.state.or.us.
Photographs related to this incident may be available at a later time.
Media note: No contact information for the vehicle's occupants is available.
