Date:<\/strong> November 20, 2009
\nUbicaci\u00f3n:<\/strong> Highway 26, east of Prineville, Oregon
\nNombres:<\/strong> Wayne L. Elliott, Robert C. Mair<\/p>\n

A John Day, Oregon, man was killed November 20, 2009, when his car skidded out of control on icy roads and crashed into a truck on Highway 26, about 25 miles east of Prineville. The crash took place around 4:20 PM. Wayne L. Elliott, 55, of John Day, was pronounced dead at the scene. The driver of the truck, Robert C. Mair, 68, of Mitchell, sustained unknown injuries.<\/p>\n

Sgt. Don Wagner of the Oregon State Police told KTVZ.com that Elliott was driving a 2004 Chevrolet SUV west on the highway, near milepost 50, when he lost control on the ice. The car veered into the oncoming lane and crashed with a 1998 Dodge 3500 truck driven by Mair.<\/p>\n

Mair was airlifted to St. Charles Medical Center – Bend. His condition was unavailable as of November 21, and a nursing supervisor at the hospital told KTVZ.com that Mair was not listed as a patient. The road was closed for about two hours after the crash.<\/p>\n

According to KOIN.com, both men were wearing seat belts. OSP troopers are continuing to investigate.<\/p>\n

As we move from November into the chilly days of December and January, it is ever more important to take extra care and watch out for ice on the road. The Oregon Department of Transportation, in \u201cWinter Driving Can Be Tricky,\u201d warns that better cars, better roads, and better tires don\u2019t take the place of careful driving.<\/p>\n

Among ODOT\u2019s tips:<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 In snow or fog, drive with your low beams on. And keep headlights clean \u2013 dirty headlights can cut visibility in half.
\n\u2022\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Keep a good grip on the steering wheel. Do not make sudden turns; if you skid, correct your car using a light touch.
\n\u2022\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Increase following distance, then increase it some more. ODOT recommends at least three times the normal following distance in snow or ice.
\n\u2022\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Plan ahead for intersections.
\n\u2022\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 If you find yourself skidding, ease your foot off the accelerator. If you have a manual transmission, push in the clutch. While keeping your foot off the brake, steer the same direction your car\u2019s rear end is skidding.
\n\u2022\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 If you hit a patch of ice, ease up on the accelerator and let your car \u201croll\u201d through.
\n\u2022\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Remember that posted speed limits are meant for dry conditions, not rain, snow, sleet, or ice. Slow down during winter weather.<\/p>\n

What to do now:<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Be prepared. Take a moment today to double-check your owner\u2019s manual for the best braking technique for your car. Then, stash an emergency kit in the trunk.
\n\u2022\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Read our tips on driving in the rain<\/a>.
\n\u2022\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Always make sure you and your passengers are wearing safety restraints.<\/p>\n

We send our heartfelt condolences to Elliott\u2019s family after this sad crash, and we hope Mair is recovering from his injuries. This is not a cut-and-dried case; many factors besides icy weather could have played a role. Sometimes an experienced Portland personal injury attorney <\/a>can help victims find the answers they\u2019re looking for.
