REEDSPORT, Ore. — One person has died and three others were injured in a head-on crash Saturday afternoon on Highway 101 about four miles south of Reedsport, Oregon.
Oregon State Police say a 2002 Mercury Mountaineer was traveling northbound on Highway 101 when it crossed over the centerline and into the path of a southbound 2000 Chevy Silverado. The vehicles collided head-on and came to rest in the roadway.
Heather Walseth, 40, of Evans, Washington, died from her injuries. She had been a front center passenger in the Chevy. The driver of the other vehicle — Julie Bowen, 32, of Reedsport — and the other two people in the Chevy were taken the hospital.
Both directions of Highway 101 were blocked for more than four hours after the accident.
