A 58-year-old man from Madras suffered a sudden medical emergency while driving into Sisters on Thursday morning, causing him to lose consciousness and crash his truck and trailer.
The Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office reported that the local School Resource Deputy was on patrol in the City of Sisters at about 8:50 a.m., when he was flagged down by a pedestrian and notified of a traffic crash near the intersection of East Cascade Avenue and North Larch Street.
The deputy quickly arrived on scene to find a 2011 Chevrolet pickup pulling a 21-foot toy-hauler trailer, which had left the roadway, struck a light pole, went into a gravel drainage ditch, and then impacted a large tree.
