Roseburg Man Dies in Single Vehicle Accident

ROSEBURG, Ore. — Responding to 911 dispatchers, the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office (DCSO) attended a single-vehicle crash scene on Looking Glass Road near Happy Valley Road on Friday at around 8.00 pm.

Police discovered 56-year-old Roseburg resident Chane Rhae Johnsen unconscious in a 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse vehicle and established that he had been traveling north on Looking Glass Road.

The Winston Police Department, Central Douglas Fire & Rescue, Lookingglass Fire Department, and Roseburg Towing assisted DCSO.

Johnsen crashed into the embankment after failing to negotiate a corner at the intersection of Happy Valley Road. He was unrestrained at the time of the crash and was transported to Mercy Medical Center in critical condition.

Alcohol is thought to be a contributing factor to the crash. Johnsen tragically succumbed to his injuries later.

The investigation is ongoing. Police requested anyone with information to contact DCSO at 541-440-4471. The case reference number is #25-0034.
