CONDON, Ore. (AP) - Authorities say a woman died after her vehicle went off a farm road in central Oregon and she went for help, leaving her 78-year-old mother-in-law in the vehicle.
The Morrow County Sheriff’s Office says on Monday night Springfield resident Becky Sue McDuffee and her mother-in-law were driving when the vehicle veered off the road and down a steep incline.
The sheriff’s office says McDuffee left on foot around midnight to get help but she didn’t have warm clothing.
