CURRY COUNTY, Ore.— Over the weekend, the Curry County Sheriff’s Office rescued a group of Brookings residents who were stuck in the snow.

The sheriff’s office got a call early Sunday morning in the area of Hazel Camp Road.

The four individuals spent the night in their vehicles, but didn’t have enough gas to make it out.

Deputies found them and gave them a ride in a snow cat.

The sheriff’s office is reminding drivers to be prepared for the worst and be cautious when dealing with harsh conditions.
