Gold Hill, Ore., — A close call for one Rogue Valley woman after her car went down an embankment into a creek.
Ken Muhlestein says his girlfriend was late to a dinner date Saturday night around six, when she swerved off Serpine Creek Road in Gold Hill, trying not to hit a deer.
Her car went off the road near mile marker two, hitting a tree, and sliding backwards down a hill, into the creek below.
Muhlestein says all she suffered is a broken collar bone and some bumps and bruises.
She was totally scared, of course she passed out. She was out for probably 5 or 10 minutes, and then she climbed back up.”
Muhlestein says this isn’t the first time a car has driven off the road here.
He says it’s a dangerous corner where people go too fast.
It was Muhlestein’s responsibility to get the car out of the creek, but he says he’s just grateful his girlfriend is ok.
