A woman died after her car plummeted into Coos Bay on Tuesday afternoon, U.S. Coast Guard officials said.
North Bend Police said a brand new Chevy Cruze was driving down Newmark Street at around 3 p.m. Tuesday when the car continued through the intersection with Highway 101 and into the bay.
The woman behind the wheel was found dead when Coast Guard rescue swimmers made it to the vehicle, according to police at the scene.
