The crash occurred on eastbound Interstate 84 around milepost 207 on Thursday, July 16, just before 8:30 a.m. According to OSP, a gray Dodge Durango carrying a utility trailer veered off the road, rolled many times, and caught fire.
During the crash, three people were ejected – 24-year-old Vancouver resident Abigail Renee Pangelinann Mendiola, a 15-year-old boy, and a 9-month-old boy. The three were taken to hospitals in Oregon and Washington.
The OSP said on Sunday, July 19, that Pangelinann Mendiola and the teenage boy died as a result of their injuries. The teenage boy’s identity was not revealed.
OSP did not give an update on the baby’s current condition.

It is yet unknown whether he will face additional charges.
