Randy Bloom killed in Oregon head-on crash near Rainier

COLUMBIA, OR, (April 12, 2026) – A 62-year-old Scappoose man was killed Sunday evening in a head-on crash near Rainier in Columbia County.

According to Oregon State Police, Randy Charles Bloom was driving a Ford Focus eastbound on Highway 30 when a westbound Subaru Outback crossed into oncoming traffic and struck his vehicle head-on shortly after 7 p.m.

Bloom was pronounced dead at the scene. A 59-year-old passenger in his vehicle sustained serious injuries and was transported to a hospital. The driver of the Subaru, a 69-year-old man, was also seriously injured and airlifted for treatment.

Authorities continue to investigate the cause of the crash.

Incident Location


HEAD-ON CRASH INVESTIGATION

Head-on collisions are among the most severe types of accidents due to the combined force of vehicles traveling at high speeds.

Driver error is the leading cause of these crashes, though other contributing factors include speeding, distraction, impairment, poor road design, and driver confusion.

“Key elements to examine include road conditions, visibility, and lighting,” said Candice Bond, Managing Partner at Bond Legal.

“In some cases, accident reconstruction experts are necessary to determine exactly how the crash occurred. These resources are essential for helping victims or their families pursue compensation,” Bond added.

“Prompt investigation is critical in these cases to ensure that all evidence is preserved and reviewed thoroughly.”


WRONGFUL DEATH CLAIM

Pending the investigation, the family of Randy Bloom may have the right to pursue a wrongful death claim. Compensation may include damages for loss of companionship, pain and suffering, and emotional distress.

“The emotional and financial impact of losing a loved one in an accident can be overwhelming,” said Stefano Formica, Of Counsel at Bond Legal.

“We understand what families experience during such difficult times, and protecting their rights is essential. A wrongful death attorney will stay informed on the investigation and work to ensure that the family’s legal interests are protected.”
