Portland, OR – Two Airlifted to Hospital Following Truck Crash on Highway 22E
Portland, OR (August 31, 2022) – A multivehicle collision took place in Marion County on Monday afternoon that left multiple people severely injured. Just after 3:20 p.m., on August 29, the Oregon State police responded to the scene of a motor vehicle accident that took place on Highway 20 2E.
Initial reports into the crash showed that 63-year-old Maureen Connealy was driving west in a Chevrolet equinox when her vehicle collided with a Freightliner that was driven by 43-year-old Jason Gress, near mile marker 42. The impact of the crash caused the truck to jackknife and collide with a Honda Odyssey, which was driven by 79-year-old Raymond Frankel.
Connealy suffered significant injuries in the crash. She was airlifted by Life Flight and flown to an area hospital for the treatment of critical injuries. Frankel also suffered serious injuries and was transported by Life Flight to an area hospital for medical care. A passenger in Frankel’s vehicle, identified as 76-year-old Elizabeth Frankel, was transported by ambulance to an area hospital for medical care.
The Oregon State Police is investigating the crash at this time.
Our thoughts are with Maureen Connealy, Raymond Frankel, and Elizabeth Frankel as we hope for their full recovery.
