Coast Guard Rescues Driver In River
(Vida, OR) -- A Coast Guard crew rescued a driver in a car that crashed into the McKenzie River about 30 miles east of Eugene Wednesday evening. Lane County deputies used a drone to assess the vehicle and driver, who was pinned inside, but high water and darkness necessitated the use of Coast Guard resources. A rescue swimmer was lowered from the helicopter and rescued the driver. The investigation into the cause of the crash is ongoing.
