POWERS, Ore. — A family of four that was reported missing for about one day was found by a U.S. Forest Service employee Wednesday.

The Coos Bay World reports David Johnson and his wife, Laura, along with their children, ages 5 and 3, spent the night in the China Flats area near Powers after their car got stuck in the snow.

The family, of North Bend, was in good condition.

A cellphone signal was recorded early Wednesday.

Laura Johnson’s father called police after the family failed to arrive for a 5:30 p.m. engagement at his house.
