Eugene, OR – On the morning of April 23, 2025, at approximately 9:45 a.m., a tragic incident occurred on Amazon Parkway in Eugene, resulting in the death of a pedestrian. The crash took place in the 2500 block of Amazon Parkway, near the notorious “s curves.”
According to Eugene Police, a man driving a Toyota Rav4 northbound on the parkway lost control of his vehicle. The car drove over a curb, through the grassy area, and struck a woman in her late 70s who was walking along the bark path.
