A man has turned himself in over a year after a deadly car crash in Portland, Oregon, that resulted in the death of his passenger, authorities said. Following the high-speed collision in the early hours of Dec. 9, 2022, which involved alcohol and left a car wrapped around a utility pole, two men were rushed to the hospital with serious injuries—tragically, one did not survive. According to a statement from the Portland Police Bureau.
Codey Ammons-Brock, the surviving driver from Tumwater, Washington, is now facing charges including Manslaughter in the Second Degree and DUII. The crash, which occurred on Southeast 118th Avenue and Southeast Division Street, took the life of passenger David J. Lamb of Portland. He succumbed to his injuries the day following the crash.
On March 20, Ammons-Brock surrendered himself to the Justice Center on a warrant related to an indictment in February. Booked at the Multnomah County Detention Center, the charges also include Reckless Driving, detailed the police report.
