Police say tired driver crossed center line, killed oncoming motorist

Oregon State Police believe fatigue may have contributed to a crash on Highway 99W last night that killed a 49-year-old Corvallis man.
Shortly after midnight, a 2003 Chevrolet S10 pickup driven by 21-year-old Aaron James Veden of Corvallis was driving southbound on the highway near milepost 77 when it crossed the centerline into oncoming traffic.
Awad Mohamed Elgarguri, 49, driving with his 16-year-old son in their Geo Storm, reportedly attempted to elude Veden's truck. But the Chevy hit Elgarguri's vehicle on the driver's side, killing the Corvallis man. His son, Arubahr Elgarguri [correction: AbuBakr Elgarguri], was sent to Good Samaritan Hospital in Corvallis with minor injuries.
Police said northbound traffic was closed for about four hours while investigators and medical personnel handled the accident scene.
A statement released by Oregon State Police this morning said officers from Albany have not yet concluded their criminal investigation into the case. It said that "fatigue is a possible contributing factor in Veden's driving."
Veden, police said, was transported to Good Samaritan Hospital with what they characterized as non-life threatening injuries.Oregon Muslim leader dies in traffic accident
