PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Oregon State Police have identified a young man killed in a rollover crash this weekend in Lake County.

Police say 17-year-old Nicholas Pickering, Jr., of Redmond, who was driving Saturday, was killed in the crash on Highway 31 two miles north of Valley Falls.

His father, Nicholas Pickering, Sr., suffered non life-threatening injuries. Nicholas’ two younger siblings, 11 and 13, were not injured.

State police spokesman Sgt. Steve Yates says driver fatigue was a factor.

The highway was blocked for nearly an hour.
