Oregon State Police say two Florence area residents died at the scene of a two vehicle crash yesterday afternoon. According to Trooper Justin Goldsmith a 1985 Nissan Pickup driven by 18-year old Montana Max Oetken, was northbound on Highway 101 near Sand Dunes Frontier when Oetken lost control and the vehicle crossed the centerline where it was struck in the passenger side by a 1997 GMC Sierra pickup driven by a Fairview, Oregon man. Oetken and his passenger, 38-year old Bryan Robert Goodwin were pronounced dead at the scene. Goldsmith said it was unknown what caused Oetken to lose control. The driver of the GMC, 61-year old Dennis D. Jackson and his passenger, a 71-year old Tigard woman, Jeannett M. Right, were transported to Peace Harbor Hospital where they were treated for non-life threatening injuries. The highway was closed for 4 1/2 hours as troopers from the Florence work site investigated. Oregon Department of Transportation crews set up a detour around the scene using Clear Lake and Canary Roads. Lane County Sheriff's Deputies, Siuslaw Valley Fire and Rescue as well as Western Lane Ambulance assisted at the scene.
