PORTLAND (AP) — A car and a pickup traveling in opposite directions simultaneously struck a cow northwest of Crater Lake.

The driver of the car died at the scene, as did the cow.

The Oregon State Police says a Buick driven by 51-year-old Newton R. Wonacott of Central Point was westbound on Oregon 230 late Saturday as a Ford pickup driven by 28-year-old Aaron Platt of Redmond was approaching eastbound.

The vehicles hit a cow that was walking across the highway, but did not come into contact with each other. The Buick went off the westbound shoulder and struck a tree.

Newton Wonacott died and his passenger — 80-year-old Ruby Wonacott of Medford — was injured.

Platt and his passengers were not hurt.

The area of the crash is deemed “Open Range” for livestock.
