Good morning, Eugene.

On Sunday, June 1, just after 1:30 p.m., Eugene Springfield Fire responded to a call when a vehicle plunged into the Willamette River near Beltline and firefighters rescued the trapped woman, who was then taken for medical evaluation — the operation was supported by a drone and Search & Rescue teams.
