Gresham Man, Molalla Woman Survive Horrific DUII Crash: Police

MOLALLA, OR — Two drivers miraculously survived a horrific head-on collision on Cascade Highway Tuesday evening, according to Oregon State Police. Alcohol is reportedly considered a contributing factor in the crash.

Just before 6:30 p.m. Dec. 26, OSP troopers were dispatched to a head-on collision on Highway 213 near South Mt. Hope Road, just southeast of Molalla.

First responders at the scene reportedly found Molalla resident Miranda Jolene Willman, 26, and Gresham resident David William Lawver, 54, suffering non-life-threatening injuries.

Investigators determined Willman was traveling south on Cascade Highway in her green 2002 Toyota Tacoma when — for unknown reasons — she crossed the centerline into the opposite lane, coming into direct contact with Lawver's northbound 2014 Ford C-Max.

Both drivers were transported to hospital by Life Flight air-ambulance, police said. Cascade Highway was reportedly closed for nearly four hours while police investigated.

This post will be updated as more information is released.
