Daniel Lee Wescott, 57, died after hitting a parked car on Southeast 96th Avenue, the Portland Police Bureau announced Tuesday.

Police said that Wescott, who is from Southeast Portland, was going fast on Southeast 96th Avenue, swerving and spinning the tires of his 2011 Studebaker kit truck before the accident. Right before the crash, he made a sweeping turn and hit a parked 1980 Volvo, police said. Wescott was ejected and died. His passenger, a 44-year-old woman, suffered an ankle injury.

Investigators are trying to figure out if Wescott was impaired and, if so, if that contributed to the crash.

Separately, Portland police identified the driver of the car involved in another fatal accident Monday. Lonny Burton, 45, was driving the car that crashed into a tree on Airport Way around 8 p.m., according to police.

Police said that Burton's passenger, a 41-year-old woman, died. Burton was taken to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

Burton had failed to follow the curve of the road, police said, hitting a tree in the middle of the roadway. The driver didn't show signs of impairment of distracted driving, police said.
