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 En nieve o niebla, conduzca con las luces bajas encendidas. Y mantenga los faros limpios; los faros sucios pueden reducir la visibilidad a la mitad.
\n\u2022\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Sujete firmemente el volante. No gire bruscamente; si derrapa, corrija el rumbo del autom\u00f3vil con suavidad.
\n\u2022 Aumente la distancia de seguimiento y luego aum\u00e9ntela un poco m\u00e1s. ODOT recomienda al menos tres veces la distancia de seguimiento normal en nieve o hielo.
\n\u2022 Planifica con antelaci\u00f3n para las intersecciones.
\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 Si te encuentras con una placa de hielo, suelta el acelerador y deja que tu auto \u201cruede\u201d a trav\u00e9s de ella.
\n\u2022 Recuerda que los l\u00edmites de velocidad publicados son para condiciones secas, no para lluvia, nieve, aguanieve o hielo. Reduce la velocidad durante el clima invernal.<\/p>\n

Qu\u00e9 hacer ahora:<\/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 Siempre aseg\u00farate de que t\u00fa y tus pasajeros lleven puesto el cintur\u00f3n de seguridad.<\/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.
