From the desk of SHERIFF JOHN WARD CURRY COUNTY, OREGON 94235 MOORE STREET, SUITE 311 29808 Colvin Street (Physical) GOLD BEACH, OR 97444 (541) 247-3221 - FAX: 541-247-6893 Wardj@co.curry.or.us On 03-31-26 at or about 4:42 p.m. Sheriff`s Office dispatch received a 911 call from twenty-three-year-old Beaverton, Oregon resident, Nikhil Rowland. Rowland advised that he had fallen approximately 20 feet down onto the rocks near the ocean and could not get back up. Rowland advised that he had knocked out his front teeth, was having trouble breathing, and was bleeding. Rowland advised that his vehicle was parked near mile post 315 on Hwy 101, and he had traveled down a trail to get to his location. Rowland stated that first responders would not be able to see him where he had fallen. At or about 4:54 p.m., Sgt Jared Gray arrived at the pullout above Frankport and located Rowlands vehicle. Shortly after that, Oregon State Police Trooper, Parker Workman, arrived on scene as well as Cal-Or Life Flight paramedics. At this time Sheriff`s Office Dispatch was able to determine Rowland`s approximate location by “pinging” his cell phone. Frankport is located about thirteen miles north of Gold Beach. Trooper Workman and a Cal-Or Paramedic then hiked down the trail all the way to the bottom and were able to locate Rowland in a large cave. Trooper Workman then was able to lead Rowland out of the cave on his own power, so that the paramedic could then attend to him. While Trooper Workman and Cal-Or paramedic were attending to Rowland, Sgt Gray was able to get his patrol vehicle down the old rutted up roadway. Sgt Gray with the help of Search and Rescue member, Tim Hawkins, were able to navigate through numerous washouts to access the bottom area of Frankport. Sgt Grays vehicle was then used to transport Rowland, the Cal-Or paramedic, Trooper Workman, and several search and rescue members back to the top of the hill safely. At or about 5:53 p.m. Rowland was transported to Curry General Hospital by Cal-Or ambulance to be treated for his injuries. Sergeant Jared GrayPhotos from Curry County Justice's post
