MOLLALA, Ore. (AP) — The Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office says a man whose body was found in an overturned car in the Molalla River had a suspended license and a history of driving under the influence.

Twenty-two-year-old Cary David Hosey of Mulino was killed when the sport utility vehicle he was driving struck a Forest Service gate post and careened over a 15-foot embankment, landing upside down in 3 feet of water. Hosey was wanted for failing to appear in court on charges of DUI and driving with a suspended license.

His passenger, 23-year-old Amanda Marie Sowa, of Molalla, managed to survive the wreck despite a severe head injury. She scaled the embankment and walked a half-mile to get help.
