On March 5th at about 8 p.m., Lane County Sheriff’s deputies responded with Oregon State Police to a vehicle that had crashed into the McKenzie River near milepost 31 on McKenzie Highway. Multiple area fire agencies responded as well, including McKenzie Fire and Eugene Springfield Fire.
The response was complicated by high water, darkness, and the precarious location of the vehicle, which was stuck on a rock ledge in the middle of the McKenzie River.
