Cars and trucks lined the highway stalled between Lakeside and Winchester Bay for two hours Saturday as rescue workers helped injured people from a three-vehicle smashup.

A Keizer woman died in the crash on U.S. Highway 101 near milepost 220.

The crash happened at 1:05 p.m., when a 2004 Ford Taurus, driven by Ginger H. Jones, 56, was traveling south on Highway 101 near milepost 220, according to a Oregon State press release.

Jones stopped for a left-hand turn into a driveway. While stopped, a 2004 Chevrolet pickup, also traveling south, driven by Leonard E. Arant, 76, of Coos Bay, struck her car. The impact pushed the Taurus into the northbound lane, where it was hit by a 2001 Dodge Caravan driven by James S. Cawvey, 80, of Reedsport.

Emergency personnel removed Jones from the Taurus and took her to Bay Area Hospital in Coos Bay. She died at the hospital, police said.

Cawvey and his passenger, Donna F. Cawvey, 77, of Reedsport also were injured. They were taken to Bay Area Hospital, where James was treated and released. Donna was admitted and then released Sunday.

Troopers cited Arant with careless driving. He was not taken to the hospital, police said. The accident snarled traffic for a couple of hours in both the northbound and southbound lanes while emergency crews cleared the wreckage.

Lakeside Rural Protection District firefighters, Coos County Sheriff’s deputies, Douglas County Sheriff’s deputies and the Oregon Department of Transportation helped at the scene. The crash is under investigation, the release said.
