Montana Rex Batterton, 19, died of his injuries, Harrell R. Phillips, 66, and a passenger injured, after a collision of Oregon 204 in Umatilla County.

A Weston, Ore., man has died of the injuries he suffered last week in a Umatilla County traffic accident.

According to Oregon State Police, Montana Rex Batterton, 19, died Tuesday of the injuries he received in accident that took place last Thursday evening along Oregon 204, about two miles east of Oregon 11. Batterton had been taken to Providence St. Mary’s Medical Center in Walla Walla after the accident and then was transferred to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle.

OSP was alerted to the accident at 8:52 p.m. Thursday. When officers arrived, they found that a 2011 Chevrolet Silverado pickup driven by Harrell R. Phillips, 66, of Athena, had been heading west on 204 when it was involved in a near head-on collision with a 1998 Jeep Cherokee driven by Batterton.

Phillips and an unnamed passenger were also injured, but survived. Both were using safety restraints. OSP said they were still trying to figure out whether Batterton was using restraints.

Troopers from the Pendleton Area Command are continuing to investigate, but said initial evidence “places the impact in the left eastbound lane.”

OSP was assisted by Umatilla County Sheriff's Office, East Umatilla County RFPD, Pendleton Fire & Ambulance, and ODOT. The highway was closed for over two hours.
