Chamber Chatter Deputy involved in single vehicle accident The Morrow County Sheriff’s Office reported that a sheriff’s office vehi- cle was involved in a single car accident on Bombing Range Road near milepost 13 on Jan. 29. According to Oregon State Police re- cords, Deputy Lance Bose, 25, was traveling north- bound when he crossed the southbound lanes, left the roadway and hit a power pole. The vehicle rolled and landed on its top. Oregon State Police reported Bose was on duty and was driving within a reasonable speed. They are not sure, but they think Bose may have fallen asleep. He will be cited for failure to drive within a lane. The deputy was taken by ambulance to Good Shepherd Hospital for eval- uation of minor injuries and has since been released. Sheriff Matlack reports that Oregon State Police will be conducting the traffic crash investigation.
