Two people are dead and a 23-month-old girl is being treated at Bay Area Hospital this morning after a car struck a tree Wednesday night near Mingus Park in Coos Bay.
At about 10 p.m., Coos Bay police officers responded to multiple reports of a single-vehicle crash on North 10th Street near the park’s pool. Officers found a mangled black Mercedes resting on its left side against a tree and partially down an embankment. The driver, 24-year-old Brandon J. Murray of Reedsport, was dead on arrival. Front passenger, Shayohn J. Botts of North Bend, 20, had been partially ejected from the car’s moon roof and was rushed to Bay Area Hospital in critical condition. She died at the hospital. The toddler, Keianna J. Lea, who also went to the hospital, was listed in good condition this morning, a hospital spokesman said.
According to a Coos Bay Police Department press release, several witnesses saw Murray’s vehicle speeding down North 10th Street just before the crash.
I knew of Brandon. He was a classmate. Not really a person I wanted to be friends with in high school. He was very strange and not everyone liked him. He always tried being something he was not. Tried to be with the "Popular" kids and even they made fun of him. He was a white guy trying to be a black guy. ( Well every red neck hick in North Bend/Coos Bay was trying to be that) I guess where I am going with this is that.. Life can be taking from you at any moment! Life for today as tomorrow you can die!
