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.

Damn! That is sad, but an 84 toyota, no seatbelt? Sad for the family, company and industry, hopefully someone takes the reins and keeps it going.

RIP. Payers out for the family.

[clworth22]

First off my thoughts and prayers to his family. Secondly, I don't believe 99.9% of the official reports that the police or media spoon feeds us with. Just my $0.02

from facebook.
Noveske Rifleworks would ask you to remember the passing of our founder, John Noveske, who died Friday, January 4th 2013 in an automobile accident.

John planned for all eventualities, and wanted to ensure any changes would be as seamless as possible for our customers, dealers, suppliers, employees and friends. While this will be a trying time, we do not expect a change in the day to day operations of Noveske Rifleworks. We would like to thank you for your support as we deal with our loss, and would ask that instead of flowers, you consider a donation to a cause we will announce at later date.

John was more than just the founder of Noveske Rifleworks, he was a loving husband and father, and caring friend.

[Fmedges]

I wonder what the weather was like. I've driven the pass many times and it can be kind of treacherous.

[Jefe's AR]

Very sad indeed.

I am of the opinion that Noveske makes the best ARs in the World.

[Blowby]

Prayers to family. A great loss!

[Maxpowers]

Very sad news, My wishes are with his family and company

[GlockDog47]

Wow he was young.. R.I.P.

[spyder]

Sad day... R.I.P.


I'm one of the few that not wearing a restraint, saved me. If I didn't end up on the floor, my top half wouldn't be intact with my bottom half, well, from my shoulders up anyway...

[Cylinder Head]

RIP

Shame, but tempered by the fact that he didn't wear a seatbelt. No excuses for that.

[Jer]

Since I don't know the full details of the situation there's no way to know if a seat-belt would have altered the outcome in any way. That being said, this seems like a wonderful time to warn everyone that bad things happen to good (and young) people and wearing your safety belt each and every time you get into your vehicle is a simple way to greatly increase your odds of surviving a traffic accident. For years I wore mine no matter what. I have since gotten out of that habit occasionally when I'm not going very fast, not in busy traffic or any other number of excuses. Even though those instances were rare for me I will now make a conscious effort to do it EVERY time no matter what. I hope this is a wake-up call for others as well.

RIP John Noveske

[T-Jet]

That's terrible news. Prayers to the Noveske & extended family. I hope they keep the business running and the kids can take it over.

[CareyH]

So sad, he was a great man and strong supporter of shooting sports. My prayers go out to his family and friends.

[Pancho Villa]

What a way to go.

I don't pray, but strongest sympathies to his family in this horrible time.

Wear your seatbelts, guys.

Really? That's the video you put out about the death of your founder and ditching SHOT?

[theGinsue]

They're using humor to handle their grief and I approve. Another +1 for Noveske Rifleworks

They know him better than you, and I'm sure he'd have approved and this was probably in the style of how he lived.
