Tigard, Oregon — A single vehicle accident in Tigard early Friday morning left two people dead and one survivor sprawled across the roof of a house. Investigators are saying a combination of alcohol and excessive speeds led to the fatal crash.
Cory Warwick, 22, the alleged driver and only survivor, was apparently ejected from the car when it flipped and collided into a home. The identity of the two other occupants, not as lucky as Warwick, have yet to be disclosed as family members are still being contacted.
The accident occurred at about 2:30 a.m. at the intersection of S.W. 135th Avenue and Brittany Drive. The 1967 Camaro apparently left the residential road, flipped several times and came to rest against the side of a house in the 13000 block of Brittany Drive.
Four people were inside the home at the time of the collision but no one was hurt. According to Jim Wolf, public information officer for the Tigard Police, a passerby who witnessed the crash called 9-1-1.
Tigard Police and Tualatin Valley Fire & Rescue arrived within minutes to find one of the passengers, a young woman, dead on scene. The other passenger, a young man, was still alive and was transported to Oregon Health & Science University where he died almost immediately upon arrival, according to Wolf.
Warwick wasn’t discovered until TVF&R crew found him on the roof of the house while investigating the area. He was transported to Oregon Heath & Science University where he is currently in critical condition.
Washington County CART (Crash Analysis Reconstruction Team) was still investigating the accident with Tigard police Friday morning to pinpoint any other cause(s) leading to the fatal crash.
If the driver survives, he's probably going to wish he hadn't. What a stupid, horrible thing to happen.
