News Release from: Oregon State Police
FATAL TRAFFIC CRASH - HIGHWAY 260 WEST OF GRANTS PASS
Posted: January 5th, 2013 9:23 AM

Oregon State Police (OSP) is continuing the investigation into Friday night's single vehicle fatal traffic crash along Highway 260 (Lower River Road) west of Grants Pass that resulted in the death of a Grants Pass man.

According to Sergeant Tyler Lee, on January 4, 2013 at approximately 9:13 p.m., a 1984 Toyota Land Cruiser driven by JOHN NOVESKE, age 36, from Grants Pass, was westbound on Highway 260 near El Camino Way. As the vehicle negotiated a right curve, it traveled across the oncoming lane onto the dirt highway shoulder until it struck two large boulders. The vehicle rolled and NOVESKE was ejected.

NOVESKE, who is the owner of a local rifle manufacturing company, was not using safety restraints and was pronounced deceased at the scene.

OSP troopers from the Grants Pass and Central Point offices are continuing the investigation. Trooper Ryan Neuenschwander is the lead investigator.

OSP was assisted at the scene by Rural Metro Fire Department, ODOT and AMR ambulance. No photographs for release.
 
Re: John Noveske passed away

Holy Shit....I am deeply saddened by this. He was a pioneer to the shooting industry and hopefully his name will not be tarnished by bad business in the future. If there is a God I'd like to ask him this question....why take the lives of people like this and all others who do no harm yet people like DF and Bloomie are......and I'll leave it at that.

OMG! This sucks, John NOVESKE was an innovator and it is very sad to see his passing so young. This is a huge loss for both the firearms industry and enthusiasts alike. RIP

Re: John Noveske passed away

Man, thats just horrible news.

I just lost a high school friend last week from a fatal car accident with his family in the car. Everybody walked away without injury except him. The reason being that he was not wearing his seat belt. So sad for John Noveske and my friend. They were both taken away too young.
 
Re: John Noveske passed away

I have always wanted to meet John. I have heard nothing but good things about the bearded man! His innovations in the firearms industry are of legend! I just hope that his name will be carried on to above and beyond his expectations. My you have my condolences and prayers!
 
Re: John Noveske passed away

I just think how proud John should be.

Just think of all the weapon systems, parts, accesories placed into harms way wearing his cross. I am talking duty! The lives saved, etc

I happily put mine into harms way everyday

Thank you John

Rest In Peace brother
