A two-car crash south of Klamath Falls left two Oregonians dead on Tuesday morning. According to OSP Lieutenant Steve Nork, the collision occurred when a southbound 2004 Ford Explorer, driven by 65-year old Barbara Leona Boice of Keno, drifted from its lane across the center median and ran into the rear wheels of a 2009 commercial Freightliner truck. It is unclear from the news report what caused the vehicle to travel from its lane.
Though the entire real axle of the truck was torn off from the crash, Gustavo Chang, its driver, was luckily unharmed; Lydell Wilkerson, his passenger, also survived the crash uninjured. Unfortunately, both Barbara and her husband, John Allison Boice II, who was a passenger in the Explorer, died in the crash.
Our heart goes out to all the friends and family members of Barbara and John Boice, and we will continue to keep them in our thoughts during this tragic time. Please do the same.
We also hope that Chang and Wilkerson are able to recover emotionally and mentally from the shock of this crash — getting into a car wreck, even if physically unharming, can be an extremely emotionally traumatic experience, sometimes even leading to post-traumatic stress disorder. We wish them the very best.
