The Oregon State Police is seeking the driver of a car that was around the Richardson Road area, off state Highway 126 near Walton on Sunday, prior to the crash of a Toyota Four Runner.

According to an OSP press release, a trooper saw several cars racing along the highway about 23 miles east of Florence. A red Mazda Miata and the Four Runner were in the group. The trooper attempted to overtake them, passing the Miata to reach the leading vehicle, the Four Runner.

The Four Runner turned left onto Richardson Road and crashed into trees. The trooper assisted on scene until medical personnel arrived.

A female passenger, Amy White, no age given, of Springfield, was pronounced dead at the scene. The driver and an infant were taken to Sacred Heart Medical Center in Eugene with injuries. No further information was available at press time.
