A North Bend man died in a single-vehicle crash near Drain on Monday morning.

An Oregon State Police report said just before 5:30 a.m. troopers responded to the wreck on Highway 38 near milepost 49.

The preliminary investigation indicated that a full-sized sedan operated by 52-year-old Kenneth Shane Garrison was traveling eastbound on Highway 38 when the vehicle left the roadway for an unknown reason. The sedan traveled down an embankment, struck a tree, and came to rest at the bottom of the embankment.

Garrison was the sole occupant of the vehicle and was declared deceased at the scene.

Highway 38 was not impacted during the on-scene investigation.

OSP was assisted by North Douglas County Fire and EMS and the Oregon Department of Transportation.
