ODNRA ATV Accident, July 2

CCSO release – On Monday, June 29th at about 7:34pm, the Coos County Sheriff’s Office, Hauser Fire Department and Bay Cities Ambulance responded to a two vehicle ATV accident in the ODNRA near Hauser. The accident occurred when a motorcycle operated by 21 year old Conner Main and a passenger, 21 year old Nathanial Rowan, were travelling south bound over a small dune and went over a small drop off. The motorcycle operator crashed because of the extra weight of the passenger pushing him forward, causing him to lose control. The second vehicle involved, a quad, being operated by 20 year old Jared Dubos, was following about 20’ or 30’ behind and in the same path of travel went over the same drop off and ran into the back of the riders that had just crashed. Conner Main and Nathanial Rowan were transported off of the sand by Hauser Fire and then transported to Bay Area Hospital by Bay Cities Ambulance. Rowan was then life flighted to a larger hospital because of the seriousness of his injuries. Jared Dubos was uninjured and issued a citation for DUII. Both other parties were allegedly intoxicated and the investigation is continuing.
