According to the Sheriff’s Office, the crash happened just before 2:30 Monday afternoon at the Beach Front RV Park in harbor.
It’s still not known why it happened.
The Sheriff said a van driven by a 66-year old Brookings man, who was passed out behind the wheel, plowed into 2 RV’s and other camping equipment including picnic tables.
38 year-old Hiedei Bailey, of White City, was pronounced dead when she got to the hospital.
The Sheriff said her daughter was playing on the beach just a few feet away when the crash happened.
Two other people that were injured were taken to the hospital as well.
The Sheriff said the crash destroyed the two RV’s, as well as camping items and picnic tables.
The driver was transported to Curry General Hospital for a possible head injury.
One of the victims is expected to be released.
Another victim is in the ICU, recovering from multiple broken bones.
NBC5 reached out to Sheriff John Ward today for more information about whether the driver was going through a medical incident, or if this is a possible criminal investigation like a DUII.
He said he was unavailable for an interview.
