A 61-year-old Oregon woman died when her off-road vehicle flipped in a rural forested section of Morrow County.
Kristi Lulay, of Sublimity, was driving the utility terrain vehicle through a forest on 21 Road near Ellis Creek with her family about 1 p.m. Sunday when the vehicle flipped, Morrow County Sheriff’s Lt. Melissa Camarillo said in a news release.
Sublimity is a city of about 3,000 people. 15 miles east of Salem.
Investigators believe she was going less than 20 mph at the time, according to the news release.
Lulay’s 9-year-old granddaughter was a passenger inside the vehicle when it overturned. She suffered minor injuries..
The family has traveled to that area of Morrow County for several years to go on camping trips.
“The Morrow County Sheriff’s Office wishes to express our deepest condolences to the Lulay family,” Camarillo said. “Our thoughts and prayers are with you all at this difficult time.”
