The vehicle was called in as a driving complaint from Hood River at a high rate of speed and driving on the curb. Several other callers reported the vehicle was traveling at a high rate of speed on I-84, passing on the right and cutting cars off. While I was en route the vehicle blew out a tire and crashed into the guardrail (near milepost 46, westbound). The driver, August Robert Anderson, 31, no address given, admitted he was mad when he left the Hood River waterfront due to his family complaining and was driving fast as a result. He was issued a citation for Reckless Driving and Driving Uninsured. The vehicle was towed from the scene by River’s Edge.
Tuesday, Aug. 4, 5:53 p.m. Narrative by Trooper Jonathon Swiger
On August 4, 2020, at approximately 5:53 PM Troopers with the Oregon State Police were dispatched to a crash on Interstate 84. The location of the crash was initially unknown, however it was later determined to have occurred at MP 140 on Interstate 84 eastbound in Gilliam County. The complainant, Judi Lucille Covey, 43, of Plumas Lake, Calif., reported she was driving a gray Ram 1500 pickup in the left lane and was trying to merge over to the right lane due to the left lane being closed when a silver Toyota Camry sped up to prevent her from merging. The complainant alleged the driver of the Camry intentionally swerved at her vehicle causing the driver side mirror of the Camry to clip the right rear quarter panel of the truck causing a dent and the tail light to pop out. The complainant took a photo of the Camry and provided a license plate, which was registered out of Kennewick. Dispatch contacted the Kennewick Police Department and obtained a phone number for the suspect. I called the suspect and spoke with him. The suspect, Brandon Lee Archibald, 43, of Kennewick, told me the complainant nearly crashed into him when she changed lanes due to her lane being closed ahead. The suspect denied a crash had occurred. The suspect was cooperative and sent me photos of his car and insurance information. The photo the suspect provided shows a light rub mark on the driver side mirror. I advised both the complainant and suspect I would be referring this report to the Gilliam County District Attorney’s Office for consideration.
