Media Release October 8, 2026 Vehicle Crash leads to Water Rescue On October 8th, 2026, at approximately 1:18 PM, Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office Deputies were dispatched to a report of a single vehicle crash near SE Shady Cove Ln. The initial report indicated the vehicle crashed into the Alsea Bay and was partially submerged, approximately 40 feet from the shoreline. When deputies arrived on scene, they located a Gray Subaru Outback submerged in the water up to the windows. Deputies saw an individual who appeared to be trapped inside the vehicle and heard him calling for help. Recognizing the urgency of the situation, Deputies acted swiftly, locating a small boat nearby, and rowed out to the vehicle. Once at the vehicle, Deputy Jacob Wright forced entry into the vehicle and established an elderly male driver, who was the sole occupant, was in distress and not able to get himself out of the vehicle. Deputy Wright exited out of the boat, entering the bay, and was able to get the male out of the vehicle, holding him above water until Central Oregon Coast Fire personnel arrived. Deputies assisted fire personnel in loading the individual onto a Jet Ski and took him to shore, where PacWest Ambulance personnel were waiting to begin treatment and transport. The Lincoln County Sheriff's Office would like to commend Deputy Wright’s swift and selfless action in rendering aid to an individual in crisis. His actions embody LCSO’s commitment to providing our community with outstanding service, ensuring the safety and quality of life of all our community members. LCSO would also like to thank our first responder partners for their assistance in safely resolving this incident.Photos from Lincoln County Sheriff's Office - Oregon's post
