Body of Missing Washington County Man Recovered from Ravine

WASHINGTON COUNTY, OR - The body of a Washington County man reported missing in November has been recovered from a SUV at the bottom of a ravine, deputies said.

Michael Babcock, 42, of Aloha, was driving on a rural road off Oregon 6 when the vehicle left the roadway and rolled several times down a steep ravine, deputies said. The SUV stopped on its roof at the bottom of the ravine.

Washington County sheriff's deputies say Babcock's family reported him missing in late November, which may have around the same time the crash happened.

Authorities searched in the area several times, deputies said, but the road was impassable until Tuesday because of heavy snow.

The cause of the crash remains under investigation, deputies said.
