Oregon Statutes 135.857 – Disclosure to victim; conditions
(1) In any criminal prosecution arising from an automobile collision in which the defendant is alleged to have been under the influence of alcohol or drugs, the district attorney prosecuting the action shall make available, upon request, to the victim or victims and to their attorney, or to the survivors of the victim or victims and to their attorney, all reports and information disclosed to the defendant pursuant to ORS § 135.805 to 135.873. The reports and information shall be made available at the same time as it is disclosed to the defendant or as soon thereafter as may be practicable after a request is received.

The district attorney may apply to the court for an order requiring any person receiving such reports and information to comply with the conditions of release.
