12/30/25 - Deputies respond to fatal crash, blocking crash, and DUI crash On December 30th at 7 p.m. Lane County Sheriff’s deputies responded with fire personnel to a two-vehicle crash on Camas Swale Road near Sher Khan Road, west of Creswell, that was blocking traffic. Initial investigation indicated a 2003 Toyota Tacoma crossed the center lane while negotiating a curve and struck an oncoming 1979 Mack dump truck. Both drivers remained on scene and were cooperative. A passenger in the Tacoma, Randy Howard Beers, 65, of Creswell, was killed in the crash. The Lane County Sheriff’s Crash Reconstruction Team was called out to assist. The cause of the crash is under investigation. While investigating the fatal crash, a call came in at 8 p.m. of an injury crash on Cloverdale Road near Dale Kuni Road, east of Creswell, that was blocking the road. Deputies and fire personnel responded. Initial investigation did not determine anything criminal occurred, however one occupant was injured and transported to an area hospital. About 10 minutes later, a call came in of a single-vehicle rollover crash on High Pass Road near Washburn Lane, west of Junction City. The driver, Ronald Wayne Pingelton, 37, of Eugene, was transported by fire personnel to an area hospital with injuries. Due to the extended response time of deputies from the two prior crashes, a Junction City Police Officer initially responded. A deputy contacted Pingelton at the hospital and observed signs of impairment. After additional investigation, Pingelton was arrested for DUII. Thanks to South Lane County Fire & Rescue, Junction City Police Department, and Junction City Rural Fire Protection District for their assistance on these calls.
