A 36-year-old motorcycle rider is dead after a truck turned onto Highway 234 from Old Sams Valley Road and crashed with his motorcycle and another that was driving westbound Friday night.

"Preliminary investigation revealed a Ford F150, operated by Richard Dionne (65) of Rogue River, pulled out onto Hwy 234 from Old Sam’s Valley Road and collided with two westbound motorcycles," the Oregon State Police (OSP) wrote in a release. "Dustin Small (36) of Pendleton was operating a Harley Davidson and Matthew Small (32) of Gresham was operating a Honda."

Dustin Small died from his injuries. Matthew Small and Richard Dionne were both taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

The state's police agency noted "intoxication is being investigated as a contributing factor to the crash".

The highway was closed for four hours while the OSP Collision Reconstruction Unit conducted its investigation.

Mercy Flights, the Oregon Department of Transportation, and officers with the Jackson County Sheriff's Office assisted OSP with the crash.
