Roseburg Man Found Deceased After Motorcycle Crash on Roberts Creek Road

ROSEBURG, Ore. – A Roseburg man was located deceased on Thursday April 10, 2025, as the result of a motorcycle crash. A search effort had been initiated after he was reported missing. Terry Eugene Kruh, 63, of Roseburg was last seen around 5:00 p.m. on April 9, 2025, when he left for a motorcycle ride on his 2004 yellow Harley Davidson. When he failed to meet friends as planned and could not be reached by phone, a friend entered his residence the following morning and discovered he had not returned—his motorcycle and riding gear were missing. The Sheriff’s Office was notified. A search was initiated at which point a cell phone ping indicated his phone was stationary in a very large area encompassing the Green/Winston/Dillard/Lookingglass area. While searchers were checking roadways in the vicinity, a friend located Kruh and his motorcycle crashed in the 6600 block of Roberts Creek Road. Emergency medical personnel responded to the scene and confirmed Kruh was deceased. Preliminary investigation indicates Kruh was traveling westbound on Roberts Creek Road when he failed to negotiate a sharp corner. His motorcycle left the roadway and came to rest approximately 20 feet down a steep embankment along a fence line in dense blackberry bushes. Anyone with information which may aid in the crash investigation is asked to contact the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office at (541) 440-4471 referring to case #25-1206.
