Oregon man was high on inhalants when he caused 2024 Salem crash that killed 2, jury finds

PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — A Springfield man was found guilty of causing a head-on, deadly crash in Salem while high on inhalants last year.

On Wednesday, a Marion County jury found Terrance Quackenbush-Benson, 29, guilty of multiple counts of manslaughter, driving under the influence of intoxicants and other charges after the crash that claimed two lives and left another seriously injured.

“The charges resulted from a September 16, 2024, incident where Quackenbush-Benson drove his truck across the center line and collided head-on with a truck traveling in the opposite direction,” the Marion County District Attorney’s Office said in a press release. “At the time of the incident, Quakenbush-Benson was under the influence of an inhalant. The driver and passenger died upon impact. A third passenger survived the crash but suffered serious physical injuries. She is still recovering.”

Quackenbush-Benson was found guilty of two counts of first-degree manslaughter, two counts of second-degree manslaughter, one count each of second- and third-degree assault, reckless driving and DUII. He is slated to be sentenced on May 13.
