Two people died Wednesday after their paddle boards became tangled in debris on the Willamette River in Lane County, according to media reports.
Just before 3:30 p.m., someone called 911 to report that it appeared there was something stuck in debris on the river east of Interstate 5 in Glenwood, the Eugene Register-Guard reported.
Responding deputies from the Lane County Sheriff’s Office discovered two paddle boards in the river, the newspaper reported, and later pulled two bodies from the water.
Neither of the victims were identified.
