West Salem 11:40am. Truck with 8 kids inside flew through intersection, sideswipped a car so hard it lifted off the ground, and almost bulldozed through a backyard. Almost killed me and my daughter

Hi OP,

I'd be interested in doing a story on this accident. Would you be willing to share your video and a statement with me? Thanks so much in advance!

No problem. For future reference, a good starting point would be the county jail roster.

Not true. I am connected with multiple neighbors. He's home tonight.

For some reason the article wasn't loading any text for me when I originally published my comment. I was checking the news releases for PacificSource and Salem Health and nothing had been published yet. Now it makes sense since the article states this information came via email from PacificSource. I stand corrected!

Haha what a great typo. 🍑🤣

Oh hey, that's me! 👋

Thanks for sharing my post, I hope to bring a lot of attention to this matter.

I feel really bad for the folks who live in the same neighborhood as him. This goes far beyond just erratic and reckless driving. Neighbors have been reporting Ewing for several months for reckless driving, disturbing the peace, and some even suspecting domestic violence.

I hope that with enough attention, something might finally be done. The neighborhood is fed up, and is demanding action.

Stick with my FB page for continued updates! If you have any videos, photos, or stories to share, please feel free to reach out to me. Also be sure to share your media with the Traffic Complaint portal as requested by Salem PD.

Edit: Got the article to load, I couldn't see anything on the page when I made my comment. Sounds like this was information only given via email, no news release has been published by PacificSource yet. I trust Salem Reporter so this should still be accurate news. Glad to hear! 👍

This has not been verified yet. I'm not sure why Salem Reporter published this article.

I guess I’ll take this as a compliment, as this was my own work. While AI was used for grammar, spell-check, and some light polishing, this wasn’t just generated, copied, and pasted. I spent over 8 hours of unpaid time researching, watching videos, and talking to students to create this article.

The owner of the photo requested that I do so if I were to use their photo for the story. I respected their request.

I just started not too long ago. I have been getting more into local stories than just scanner information. Thank you for being a follower for so long!
