BURNS, Ore. (AP) _ A 19-year-old member of U.S. Coast Guard died
late Monday or early Tuesday in a single-vehicle crash in southeast
Oregon.
State police say the Volkswagen Jetta driven by Ethan Gorringe
veered off Highway 20 west of Burns and rolled several times. An
Oregon Department of Transportation worker saw the crashed car when daylight arrived Tuesday.
Sgt. Brian Williams says Gorringe is from Boise, Idaho. He was
in the process of transferring from his duty station in North Bend
to a duty station in Virginia. Relatives last heard from him Monday
evening, when he left Central Oregon for Boise.
Gorringe wore his seat belt and the car's side air bags
deployed.
