Hope woman killed in Oregon crash Kerrie-Ann Schoenit Hope Standard

A 20-year-old woman from Hope was killed in a single-vehicle crash last Friday in Oregon. State police say a 2009 Pontiac four-door car driven by Brandon Goeders, 20, from Port Moody was travelling eastbound at about 5:45 a.m. on Interstate 84 near milepost 294, between North Powder and Baker City, when it travelled onto the left shoulder. Goeders said he fell asleep and over-corrected to the right, causing the car to roll on the pavement and off the freeway.
