Timber Winegar Dies After Toyota Prius Crash in Grant County OR

GRANT, OR, (July 10, 2026) – A 16-year-old Grant Union High School student was killed early Friday morning in a single-vehicle crash along Highway 395 in Grant County, according to the Oregon State Police.

Authorities said the collision occurred at approximately 3:30 a.m. when a northbound Toyota Prius was traveling at a high rate of speed. Investigators reported that the vehicle failed to negotiate a curve, skidded across the southbound lane, crossed the gravel shoulder, and traveled down a steep embankment.

Timber Winegar was a passenger in the vehicle. Police said Winegar was ejected during the crash and was pronounced dead at the scene.

The Oregon State Police continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding the fatal collision. No additional details regarding the driver or any other occupants have been released.

FATAL CRASH INVESTIGATION

Young Timber’s heartbroken family is now left mourning her untimely death.

During this difficult time, it is important for families who have lost a loved one to seek experienced legal representation. An attorney can independently gather evidence related to the crash and work with insurance companies, which often attempt to resolve wrongful death claims for far less than their true value.

“Insurance companies are financially motivated to limit compensation and do not factor in the long-term consequences and suffering those victims will ultimately experience,” said Candice Bond, an experienced auto accident attorney and Managing Partner at Bond Legal.

“Attorneys work tirelessly to protect the rights of their clients and help ensure they are treated fairly while pursuing the compensation they deserve,” added Bond, a national analyst with Accident Injury News.

Each year, roughly 36,000 people die, and another 1.9 million people are injured in motor vehicle accidents in this country. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, speeding was the primary cause of fatal crashes each year, followed by the influence of alcohol, drugs, or medication; failure to stay in the proper lane; failure to yield the right of way; and distracted driving.


WRONGFUL DEATH CLAIM

The family members of Timber Winegar may be entitled to pursue a wrongful death claim. Families of wrongful death victims may seek compensation for loss of companionship, pain, suffering, and emotional distress following a tragic or catastrophic accident.

“We understand the tremendous challenges families face after losing a loved one, and protecting their legal rights is essential,” said Stefano Formica, Of Counsel with Bond Legal.

“A wrongful death attorney can monitor the official investigation while helping ensure that the family’s best interests remain protected. Relatives of wrongful death victims are entitled to pursue damages for the loss of companionship, pain and suffering, and emotional distress following a tragic or catastrophic accident,” Formica added.
