Collision Between Truck Towing A Trailer And Electric Bicycle Results In Fatality In Newberg - 06/22/26
On June 21, 2026, at approximately 5:15pm, the Newberg-Dundee Police Department received reports of a collision between an electric bicycle rider and a truck towing a boat on a trailer. The collision occurred on a curved portion of westbound Hancock St., near the cross street of Harrison St.

Bystanders and emergency personnel attempted life saving measures, but the electric bicycle rider, Paul Rusciolelli, of Dundee, was pronounced deceased at the scene. It also happened to be Mr. Rusciolelli’s 68th birthday, and he was riding home to celebrate the day with his loved ones. Our thoughts are with them.

The driver of the involved truck & trailer remained on the scene and cooperated with the investigation. The exact cause of how the collision occurred is still under investigation, but no impairment was detected from either party. The scene required the closure of the road for several hours.

The Yamhill County Sheriff’s Office, Oregon State Police, Newberg Public Works and Oregon Department of Transportation all assisted NDPD with this investigation.
