9/18/26 On-Duty Deputy struck by DUI driver on Franklin Boulevard
On September 18th at about 10:30 pm, a Lane County Deputy driving his patrol vehicle was struck by another motorist in the 5100 block of Franklin Boulevard. The deputy radioed the at-fault vehicle may have also struck a 3rd vehicle nearby. Officers with the Springfield Police Department responded and investigated the crash.
The head on collision caused front end damage to both the at fault car and the Sheriff’s Office patrol vehicle. The patrol vehicle was towed from the scene. During the investigation SPD Officers arrested the at-fault driver, Ryder Lee Carlton, for DUI. Thankfully no one was seriously injured in the crash, and the deputy is back on duty.
Sadly, this is now the second time this same deputy has been struck by an intoxicated motorist this year. On February 8th while patrolling on the McKenzie Highway this deputy was hit by another drunk driver. OSP Troopers responded and conducted that crash investigation and ultimately the other driver was arrested for DUI.
The Lane County Sheriff’s Office reminds everyone to stay sober behind the wheel. Never drink and drive or drive after consuming a substance. Everyone needs to be cautious of people driving impaired on our roadways. Even police can become victims with intoxicated persons behind the wheel.Photos from Lane County Sheriff's Office's post

9/10/26 Search and Rescue Locates Two subjects in West Lane County
On September 10th at about 11:00 pm the Lane County Sheriff's Office received information about an overdue subject in the Cape Creek area. A woman reported dropping off a male to go mushroom picking, but she was unable to find him when she went back to pick him up. The man had a puppy with him, but he had no additional provisions.
LCSO Deputies and Search & Rescue volunteers responded to the area. Cellular communication is patchy in this part of Lane County. The woman continued searching on her own, so deputies were unable to reach her for additional information.
At about 2:00 pm on September 11th, SAR located the male and the puppy. He had made it to the woman’s vehicle, but she was not present. She had left a note in her car stating she was still out looking for the man.
SAR continued searching the area and at about 3:20 pm, located the woman by drone. Thankfully both people were found uninjured.
The Lane County Sheriff’s Office wants everyone to recreate safely. Please remember, information is crucial to searchers. If you are making a report, ensure you have a way to be reached for additional information. Wanting to help is admirable, but do not put yourself in the same situation as those you are trying save.
⛰️Always tell someone where you are going and when you plan to return.
🌨️Know conditions before you leave - rain in the valley can mean ice up high!
⛺Be prepared to stay out overnight - even if you don't plan to get out of your car.
🗺️Bring maps for offline navigation - cell service can be spotty!
🌊If you go on the water, ALWAYS wear a life jacket!
🛑If you become lost, STAY PUT! Find a way to signal or make your location visible. Always carry a whistle and flashlight in the outdoors – it just might save your life.
