On Friday, July 19, 2019 at approximately 1600 hrs. Bend Police, along with the Bend Fire Department, responded near the Hertz, on HWY 20, on a report of a motor vehicle crash.

Investigation determined that Raylene Keating, 65, was traveling southbound on NE Azure and came to a stop at the intersection of US Hwy 20E.  While attempting to pull on to US Hwy 20E, Keating pulled out directly in front of Bilan who was traveling westbound on US Hwy 20E.  Both vehicles collided at this time with Mary Bilan’s, 78, vehicle rolling on to its passenger side.

Keating and Bilan were treated at the scene by Bend Fire Department and were not transported to St. Charles Medical Center.  Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) assisted in closing US Hwy 20E for approximately 45 while the investigation took place.
