PORT ORFORD, Ore. (AP) — One woman has drowned and another is presumed to have drowned near Port Orford on the Oregon coast.
The Oregon State Police said 78-year-old Darlene Bryson, who lived close to Agate Beach, was found dead Friday afternoon after washing ashore on the beach.
Rescuers were searching for 53-year-old Kathleen Meeker of Port Orford, who was walking with Bryson on the beach Friday.
Police said the beach where the women were walking is hazardous due to deep, soft sand, numerous rip tides and a severe drop off where the water meets the beach.
