On Friday, April 10, 2026, at about 2338 hours, The Coos County Sheriff’s Office was dispatched to a motor vehicle crash on Fairview Road near Mile Post 5, in Coquille Oregon. The caller had informed North Coos Dispatch that a pole had been hit and there was a utility line on the ground. When the Deputies and Fire Department Personal arrived on scene, they found a Utility Line hanging between two poles blocking the roadway, a sheared off Utility Pole, several destroyed road signs, a severely damaged guard rail and an unoccupied red 2025 Chevy Silverado upside down on its top about 60 feet down over the embankment. Deputies found the vehicle was registered to Mr. Craig Gurney, who was 60 years of age. Deputies conducted a search for Mr. Gurney in the area and also contacted his friends and family at their places of residence. The Sheriff’s Office was unable to locate Mr. Gurney at that time. The next day at about 3:17 PM, Mr. Gurney was contacted on Middle Creek. After further investigation, Mr. Gurney was placed under arrest for Failure to Perform the Duties of a Driver and Criminal Mischief in the 2nd Degree. He was transported to the Coos County Jail, where he was booked and released on the charges. If anyone has any further information on this incident, please contact the Sheriff’s Office. “Police action is not indicative of guilt. All persons are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.”Photos from Coos County Sheriff's Office's post
