A Bandon-area woman died Tuesday night in a single vehicle crash on Highway 101 at Boak Lane south of Bandon.
On April 17, 2007 at approximately 8:46 p.m., a Mercedes S320 four door driven by MARTHA LOU FINE, age 56, from Bandon, was southbound on Highway 101 near milepost 278 when, for an unknown reason, it lost control and left the highway's southbound shoulder. The Mercedes severed a utility pole before crossing the intersection of Boak Lane and crashing into a tree.
FINE was pronounced deceased at the scene. She was not using safety restraints.
Oregon State Police troopers from the Coos Bay Area Command office are continuing the investigation. Bandon Police Department, Coos County Sheriff's Office, Bandon Fire Department, and ODOT assisted at the scene. Electrical service to residents on Boak Lane was interrupted for about two hours.
