According to the Newberg Graphic, witnesses saw two cars, a Honda and a Dodge, speeding southwest on the highway toward Dundee, when the cars skidded at a railroad crossing and the Dodge may have clipped the Honda. The Honda then spun into an oncoming minivan.<\/p>\n<p>A witness told police it looked like the cars were racing, starting the rumors.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>The driver of the Honda, Nathan Dirk Hext, 18, of Newberg, was pronounced dead at the scene.<\/p>\n<p>Also riding in the car was Casey Niles Binkerd, 15, of Dundee. Binkerd was critically injured and airlifted to OHSU in Portland for brain surgery. Despite physicians\u2019 efforts, Binkerd died at the hospital.<\/p>\n<p>The driver of the minivan, Ina May Benuche, 70, and passenger Ivan Louis Langley, 81, both of Amity, were taken by ambulance to Providence Newberg Medical Center with non-life threatening injuries.<\/p>\n<p>Joshua David Reimer, 24, of Newberg, the driver of the Dodge, was stopped by police immediately after the crash and cooperated with investigators. His car was not damaged. Police have determined that Reimer was not involved in causing the crash, and he will not be charged.<\/p>\n<p>Police found that Hext was traveling at excessive speed and lost control on the curve. He over-corrected and crossed the median, striking the oncoming minivan.<\/p>\n<p>On Facebook, a memory page dedicated to Binkerd had over 1,000 members, with a family member posting: \u201cI miss you buddy, you are a great little brother. I know you would hate me crying for you but I can\u2019t help it. I just miss you, but I know I\u2019ll see you again someday on the other side if I make it to where you are :)\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to an obituary on OregonLive.com, Binkerd was starting his sophomore year at Newberg High School. He loved sports, including swimming and tennis, and was an active member of his church. He was a creative young man who enjoyed making people laugh. He will be missed by family and friends, including his parents, Kerry and Kristin Tokstad Binkerd, a brother, three sisters, and many others. Memorial gifts may be made to the Casey Binkerd Memorial Scholarship Fund at Joyful Servant Lutheran Church.<\/p>\n<p>Hext is remembered as well, with a page on Tributes.com, where a friend posted a note to the family, \u201cRemember the good times.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>We send our sincere condolences to Binkerd\u2019s family, and Hext\u2019s as well. We also send our thoughts to Benuche and Langley, and hope that they are soon on the way to a full recovery, and we are glad that Reimer was not injured.<\/p>\n<p>En <a href=\"\/es\/practice-areas\/portland-car-accident-lawyers\/\">Portland abogados de accidentes de coche<\/a>, we are relieved that speed racing was not involved in this crash, but it is still too common, and it can be deadly. Edmunds.com notes that no one really knows the full extent of the problem, because it is difficult for accident investigators to distinguish between street racing and reckless driving, but using NHTSA figures, it is possible to estimate that between 1998 and 2001 there were 399 deaths due to street racing.<\/p>\n<p>But even if you\u2019re not racing, speeding by itself is a life-and-death matter. In fact, it could be worse than driving drunk! The Oregon Department of Transportation\u2019s Traffic Crash Summary reports that in 2008 alone, speed-related accidents killed 216 Oregonians. That number far exceeds the amount of drunk-driving fatalities!<\/p>\n<p>Why do people speed? To get somewhere quicker? Shaving a few minutes off your trip is not worth the risk of potentially harming or killing another innocent driver or passenger. For the thrill?<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re tempted to get somewhere faster by driving over the speed limit, remember that law enforcement is in full effect, and the Oregon State Police are continually looking for ways to both protect the innocent and punish those who endanger lives. If caught, you could lose your license, receive an expensive ticket or go to jail.<\/p>\n<p>The risk is too great\u2014lives can be lost as well as licenses and the ability to operate your own vehicle. It\u2019s not worth it.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes, though, you can do all the right things and still find yourself injured in a car crash.
