On 12-22-17 about 1:40PM Lincoln City Police responded to a report of a roll over crash on NE East Devils Lake Road approximately 1/2 mile east of SE Port in Lincoln City. Officers found a 1998 Ford Ranger pickup upside down and partially submerged in the water on the north side of East Devils Lake Rd. Officers Storm, Burke, Smith, and Anderson immediately entered the water to assist three witnesses who were attempting to extricate the occupants of the vehicle. North Lincoln Fire and Rescue units arrived to assist a few minutes later. Two people were then extricated from the pickup.

This team is made up of personnel from the Oregon State Police, Newport PD, Lincoln County SO, Toledo PD, and ODOT. The cause of the crash is still under investigation.
