Two people are in critical condition after an ATV and a motorcycle collided in Dallas, Oregon, Sunday afternoon, with one of the injured riders requiring a Life Flight helicopter to reach further care. Dallas Fire & EMS crews found both drivers seriously hurt when they arrived at the scene near Cooper Hollow Road.
According to KPTV, Dallas Fire & EMS were dispatched to the crash just after 2 p.m. Sunday. Firefighters arrived to find both drivers seriously injured, and one needed to be airlifted by Life Flight, the station reported.
Both Riders Rushed to the Hospital
Both injured people were taken to the hospital following the crash, per the same report. As of the station's report, no other information had been released about the conditions of the two riders or the circumstances of the collision.
It remains unclear who was operating the ATV versus the motorcycle, what led to the crash, or whether any citations resulted from it, since officials had not shared further details at the time of the report.
Rural Oregon Roads See Recurring Motorcycle Crashes
The Dallas crash follows other serious motorcycle collisions on Oregon roadways this year. A crash along Highway 126 in Lane County on May 3, 2026, killed one motorcycle rider and seriously injured another, according to KATU. That crash, like Sunday's collision near Cooper Hollow Road, underscores the risks riders face on the state's rural routes, though no connection between the two incidents has been established.
No further details on the Dallas crash — including hospital names, road conditions, or contributing factors — have been released. Hoodline will update this story if officials share additional information.
