What a fun week we have had! From cruising to school with a Deputy to a presentation at Lee Elementary School, we've loved every moment of learning and sharing what we're passionate about. It was an absolute honor to hang out with the kids as they gear up for summer fun.

On Saturday, May 30, 2026, at approximately 7:52 p.m., the Marion County Sheriff’s Office received a report of a vehicle versus pedestrian crash involving a 1-year-old female child on a rural property near Aumsville. The incident occurred on private property.

Deputies and emergency responders arrived on scene and began an investigation. Tragically, the child was pronounced deceased at the scene.

The driver was cooperative with law enforcement throughout the investigation. At this time, no arrests have been made.

This is a heartbreaking incident, and our thoughts and condolences are with the child's family and all those affected.

The investigation remains ongoing, and no further information is available at this time.

The Marion County Sheriff’s Office would like to thank our CRASH Team, Criminal Investigations Unit, Stayton Police Department, Stayton Fire District, Santiam Ambulance, METCOM 911, the Willamette Valley Communications Center (WVCC), and the Willamette Valley First Responder Chaplains for their assistance with this case.

The deceased has been identified as a 14-year-old male from the Salem area. Out of respect for the family, no additional identifying information will be released at this time.
