Oregon State Police: Tualatin Woman Died in Car Crash April 15

MCMINNVILLE, OR – Two people are dead and one man is in critical condition after an auto accident near McMinnville Saturday involving two Tualatin residents.

Linda Louise Stockinger, 65, of Tualatin and Marc Gregory Sloan, 54, of Bellevue, Wash., both died April 15 after Sloan’s 2016 Chevy Impala collided with the 2016 Dodge Caravan driven by 59-year-old William Eugene Stockinger, according to Oregon State Police.

Around 3 p.m., Sloan was traveling east on Highway 18 when William, who was traveling west, reportedly crossed into Sloan’s lane. The vehicle impact sent Sloan’s Impala over the highway guardrail and down an embankment, police said. Sloan was pronounced dead at the scene.

Linda had been unrestrained in the back of the Caravan at the time of the crash and was transported by air ambulance to a Portland hospital where she later died, police said. William was transported by ground ambulance and is being treated for serious injuries. Both William and Sloan were wearing safety belts, police said.

Highway 18 was closed for several hours following the accident, police said, for which no cause has yet been released.
