Summary

A tragic car crash on Highway 101 near Port Orford, Oregon, claimed the life of 18-year-old Luke Anree May Dizone after he reportedly fell asleep at the wheel. His black Chrysler Pacifica collided head-on with a converted school bus, leaving one passenger critically injured, two others with minor injuries, and one unharmed. The bus driver, a 73-year-old California man, escaped unscathed. Authorities are investigating driver fatigue as the likely cause — a sobering reminder of how drowsy driving can turn a momentary lapse into a devastating loss.
