Central Oregon man dies in highway crash; OSP releases his name, says what happened

IDANHA, Ore. (KTVZ) -- An 85-year-old Redmond man died in a crash on Oregon Highway 22 near Idanha earlier this week, Oregon State Police reported Friday.

Troopers were called out around 11 p.m. Tuesday night to the single-vehicle crash in Marion County.

OSP says their initial investigation has found that Richard Wayne Braxling, 85, of Redmond, was driving a silver Chevy Silverado heading west that left the highway for an unknown reason and rolled over.

Braxling was alone in the pickup and died at the scene, troopers said.

Their on-scene investigation did not close Highway 22.

OSP says it was helped by the Idanha-Detroit Fire District, Lyons Ambulance, the Marion County Medical Examiner’s Office, and the Oregon Department of Transportation.
