Joeana Spackman seriously injured in motorcycle accident near Mt. Bachelor

DESCHUTES COUNTY, Ore. — A motorcyclist died, and his passenger suffered serious injuries in a single-vehicle crash near Mt. Bachelor Ski Resort on Tuesday evening, Oregon State Police said.

Troopers responded to the accident at about 6:35 p.m. on June 17. The crash occurred on Forest Service Road 46 near milepost 24. Police said a 36-year-old Sisters man was operating the black Husqvarna motorcycle southbound when it drove off the west shoulder. The bike struck a tree stump after leaving the roadway. Both occupants were ejected from the bike.

The motorcycle operator was pronounced dead at the scene despite life-saving efforts.

The passenger, Joeana Erica Spackman, 34, of Bend, was airlifted to an area hospital.

Speed and impairment are believed to be contributing factors in the accident, investigators said. Police continue examining the circumstances surrounding the crash.

The highway remained closed for approximately four hours during the investigation. The Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office and Bend Fire and Rescue assisted Oregon State Police at the scene.

MOTORCYCLE CRASH INVESTIGATION

“Motorcyclists are arguably the most vulnerable motorists on the road,” said Candice Bond, Managing Partner of Bond Legal.

Oregon ranks eighth nationally for most dangerous states for motorcyclists, with 101 motorcycle fatalities in 2022 and a mortality rate of 7.39 deaths per 10,000 registered motorcycles. Motorcycle crashes account for 18.26% of all fatal motor vehicle accidents in the state. Key contributing factors include high rates of impaired driving and speeding among drivers in fatal crashes.

Bond, a seasoned motorcycle accident attorney, emphasized the need for an independent investigation in cases like this to ensure the victim’s family receives proper legal protection.

“Road conditions, signage visibility, and road lighting are all possible contributing factors that are considered and must be thoroughly examined. These procedures are necessary for helping those who have lost a loved one receive the justice that they deserve.”


PERSONAL INJURY CLAIM

Pending an investigation, Joeana Spackman may have the right to pursue a personal injury lawsuit. Bond noted that stress from an injury is overwhelming. It disrupts all aspects of life, including family, work, finances, and overall quality of life.
“It is vital for victims to hire an attorney when filing a personal injury claim, which allows them to negotiate with an insurance company for a client,” she said.
“Insurance companies often try to pressure victims to settle for a quick payout for far less than the case is worth. However, an attorney will vigorously advocate for their clients to ensure that they are treated with respect and compensated fairly.”
