Harbor, OR : Brookings woman dies in car wreck on Highway 101 in Harbor on Friday, April 29, 2016

A Brookings woman died Sunday following a two-car collision on Highway 101 in Harbor last Friday, according to the Oregon State Police (OSP).

Susan Childress, 47, was driving a grey 2007 Mazda 3 north on the highway at 4:45 p.m. when the car rear-ended a pickup truck stopped in the left lane to make a left turn at Camellia Drive.

Harbor firefighters used the Jaws of Life to remove Childress from the Mazda, and she was transported to Sutter Coast Hospital. She was subsequently flown to a hospital in Redding, California, where she died Sunday.

Reggie Dickerson, 47, a passenger in the Mazda, was transported to and treated at Sutter Coast Hospital for moderate injuries.

The driver of the red 2006 F-350 pickup, Rebecca Crockett, 56, of Portland, was not injured, OSP said.

According to witness statements, Childress was traveling at a fast rate of speed and attempted to avoid colliding with the pickup at the last second, the OSP said.
