On December 26, 2023, just at 4:05am, Klamath County Sheriff’s Office deputies and emergency medical services were dispatched to a reported motor vehicle crash on Sprague River Road near mile marker 4. A Sheriff’s Office deputy was responding to a disturbance call in the Chiloquin area at the time of the reported crash. It was later confirmed that a vehicle leaving the disturbance was involved in the crash. Initial investigation reveals that a westbound Dodge Durango, operated by Sasha Atchley, was involving a head-on collision with an unloaded (bunked) log truck. The collision occurred in the eastbound lane of Sprague River Rd. The Durango left the roadway and the log truck was blocking the travel lanes when it came to rest. Sasha Lee Atchley was transported to Sky Lakes Medical Center by a Chiloquin Fire and Rescue ambulance crew with serious injuries; she later passed away as a result of injuries sustained in the crash. The driver of the log truck was transported to the hospital by a Bonanza Ambulance crew with minor injuries. Deceased: Sasha Lee Atchley (age 35) The investigation is underway and is being assisted by the Oregon State Police with a crash reconstruction. No further details are available at this time.
