MOUNT ANGEL, Ore. -- Marion County sheriff's deputies say one man is dead after a pickup truck and a tractor-trailer rig plowed into the side of a vacant house in Mount Angel.
According to a sheriff's office preliminary investigation, the big rig driver ran a stop sign and collided with a Ford Ranger driven by 51-year-old Marc Moberly of Silverton on Monday.
The two vehicles skidded along a road, over a tree and into the side of a house owned by Trinity Lutheran Church.
KPTV reports that Moberly was flown to Oregon Health & Science University but died Monday night.
Marion County deputies say the big rig driver suffered only scrapes and bruises. No citations have been issued so far.
