OREGON CITY, Ore. — Oregon State Police say they are interviewing a person of interest in the death of a man at an Interstate 5 rest area.

Sgt. Kyle Hove says police and paramedics were dispatched to the rest area 14 miles south of Portland Monday night to help a man suffering from traumatic injuries. The man died at the scene.

Hove said the man’s name would be released after relatives are notified. He declined to name the person of interest.

Meanwhile, the Marion County Sheriff’s Office says there is no connection between this case and that of a woman found dead Monday along a rural gravel road 30 miles south of Portland.
