Oregon State Police troopers are continuing the investigation of a single vehicle roll-over crash on Siuslaw River Road at milepost 11 in Lane County, Tuesday morning, Dec. 2, which killed three individuals. Preliminary investigation indicates a blue, 2005 Ford F-350 pickup-truck, was driving southbound on Siuslaw River Road, east of Florence, near milepost 11 in heavy fog when the vehicle left the roadway, striking an embankment then rolling approximately 300′ down a steep ravine. The driver, name withheld pending next of kin notification, and two other passengers, one of which was ejected during the crash, died at the scene. The two surviving passengers walked back up to the roadway and summoned help. Investigators said the occupants worked together and were heading to work at the time of the crash. The Lane County Sheriff’s Office Search and Rescue team responded to assist with the recovery of the bodies due to the steep angle of the ravine.
