SATURDAY, SEPT. 21

• 12:15 p.m. — Troopers responded to a two-vehicle crash on Highway 138W about 10 miles east and north of Roseburg that took the life of Shelley Sue McLaughlin, 78, of Newport. OSP’s preliminary investigation indicated that a Ford F-350 driven by a 23-year-old Roseburg man was passing multiple vehicles while heading west on Highway 138W. A vehicle coming in the opposite direction, a Kia Sorrento driven by McLaughlin, attempted to avoid the Ford by traveling on the eastbound shoulder. However, the Ford also entered the eastbound shoulder in an effort to avoid the collision and the vehicles hit head-on. McLaughlin was declared deceased at the scene. The Ford’s driver reportedly suffered serious injuries and was transported to an area hospital.
