A driver was killed after a Friday night angle collision in Auburn Gresham on June 27, 2025 at 11:42 PM.

The crash occurred near 9035 S HALSTED ST, on a road divided by a median barrier. The posted speed limit was 30 mph. It was dark but with streetlights, the weather was clear, and the roadway was dry.

• A 2015 Freightliner was heading southeast while backing up and was hit in the rear. The driver, a 28-year-old man, was wearing a seat belt and his airbag did not deploy; he was uninjured.
