Highway worker safety review — The Oregon Occupational Safety and Health Division is investigating the Oregon Department of Transportation after two incidents last week in which workers were killed on highway projects. On Tuesday, an ODOT employee died at a work site on state Highway 320 near Echo, and a Nevada man who worked for a construction company working on a paving project died Wednesday on U.S. Interstate 84 near Boardman. Oregon OSHA spokeswoman Melanie Mesaros said Friday the state will review supervision and training, as well as the kind of hazards that were present at the job site. ODOT spokesman Peter Murphy says the agency will conduct its own investigation.

Migrant children sent here — Federal officials say 50 immigrant children are being relocated from the Mexican border to Oregon, and Gov. John Kitzhaber says they are welcome. Kitzhaber says the state will continue to welcome children fleeing hardship and violence while waiting for Congress to change immigration policies. He says the children don’t “deserve to become political fodder.” The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services released information on relocated children late last week. Washington state received 211 children.

Motorcycle-bus crash — A crash involving a motorcycle and a bus along state U.S. Highway 30 near The Dalles left one man seriously injured. Oregon State Police say the crash occurred Saturday morning after a motorcycle collided into the front of the bus. The bus, which had no passengers on board, was turning into a gas station lot when the collision occurred. The motorcycle driver, Larry Dew, 57, was flown to Legacy Emanuel Medical Center, where he is in critical condition. The bus driver, Patrick Preston, was not injured. The bus belongs to the Oregon Child Development Coalition. The crash is under investigation.

Attempted retirement home robbery — An Oregon man has been arrested on suspicion of attempting to rob a Pendleton retirement center. Thomas Davis Jr., 33, was charged with first-degree robbery, menacing and disorderly conduct. Pendleton Police said Davis pointed a pellet gun at an employee outside the Juniper Home on Tuesday, demanding entry into the facility to get access to pharmaceuticals. The pellet gun’s orange safety tip was painted black to resemble a handgun. Juniper Home officials say the employee didn’t let the robber in; Davis fled the scene. Davis was arrested Thursday.

Portland shooting — Portland Police are investigating what may be a gang-related shooting in which one man was injured. Police responded to reports of a gunshot victim in the emergency room of Legacy Emanuel Medical Center early Saturday morning. The 20-year-old male victim had gunshot wounds to both legs, but the injuries are not life threatening. Police said the victim is a known gang associate and that the shooting may be gang-related.

Traffic citation bribe? — Oregon State Police arrested a man after they say he tried to bribe a trooper to tear up a citation during a traffic stop. OSP said Austen Corno, 20, of Milwaukie, offered the trooper $360 to tear the citation up. Corno was stopped Friday along U.S. Highway 101 in Tillamook County after the trooper observed him passing another vehicle in a no-passing zone marked with double solid center lines. The citation for that infraction is a fine of $260. Corno’s arrest was on suspicion of bribe giving, a class B felony.

Portland Police settlement — The city of Portland is set to pay $110,000 to settle a federal civil rights lawsuit against the city’s police department. The lawsuit was filed by a Portland man who accused police of battery, assault and false imprisonment in a 2010 incident at an Old Town nightclub. In the lawsuit, Daniel Collins accuses four officers of violently taking him down to the ground, repeatedly punching him, kneeing him and stunning him with a Taser. The lawsuit says he was unarmed and was trying to leave the club when police showed up. The lawsuit was filed in U.S. District Court in June 2012. The Portland City Council is scheduled to vote on the negotiated settlement Wednesday.

Eugene bomb threat — Authorities in Eugene say a bomb threat called in by someone calling himself a 13-year-old boy appears to be a hoax. Eugene Police say the 911 caller reported shots fired and a possible bomb at his residence Saturday morning. The call prompted police to cordon off streets and send in officers and a light armored vehicle. But police could not locate the address given by the caller. Police say the caller first reported that his brother had shot his mother. This was followed by a report that his father was armed with an assault rifle and walking around the home’s front porch with a bomb strapped to his body.
