CAMAS, Wash. (KPTV) - A driver is facing multiple charges following a deadly wrong-way crash on State Route 14 late Monday night, according to the Washington State Patrol.
The crash occurred just before 11 p.m. on SR 14 near Exit 14 in Camas. Troopers say a Mercedes was traveling in the wrong direction when it collided head-on with another vehicle, killing one person and seriously injuring two others.
The victim killed in the crash was identified as Michael C. O’Brien, 18, of Portland. He was a senior at Roosevelt High School.
In a letter to the school community Tuesday, Roosevelt High School Principal KD Parman confirmed that the two other victims—Jack Craig and Will Rinehart, both seniors—were hospitalized and in stable condition.

Ayden Unruh, a witness, said he saw the suspect driver, identified as Erik M. Moya, 23, of Vancouver, driving the wrong way Monday night. Unruh said he attempted to warn oncoming drivers by following the Mercedes on the opposite side of the median, using his horn and hazard lights.
The Washington State Patrol said it received at least 10 calls to 911 before the crash. Unruh said he stayed on the phone with dispatchers for about 10 minutes.
“They told me they didn’t have anyone available and were tied up with other calls, so they didn’t have anyone to send at the moment,” Unruh said. “But they were working on it.”
