Missing woman — Authorities in Coos Bay say a 34-year-old woman who disappeared in January drowned in a creek. Police said it appeared Holly Berry fell into the water, and there was no indication she was the victim of violence or criminal activity.

The World newspaper of Coos Bay reported police issued a statement Monday saying an autopsy and an investigation led to a positive identification and the determination she had drowned.

Party out of control — Eight people were arrested and 25 minors were cited for alcohol possession at a St. Patrick’s Day party in Eugene that police described as out of control. More than 30 people were crammed in the two-bedroom apartment when police responded early Sunday to a noise complaint. When the people inside refused to open the door, police obtained a search warrant and forced their way in. The Register-Guard reports those arrested face possible charges of furnishing alcohol to minors and resisting arrest. They include some people identified on the University of Oregon website as students.

Wrong-way crash — Portland police said a wrong-way truck driver crashed into a car on the Interstate 205 bridge. The driver of the car was taken to a Vancouver hospital. Police said her injuries do not appear to be life-threatening. The truck driver was arrested on charges of drunken driving, criminal mischief and reckless driving. He was identified as 49-year-old Kenneth Eugene Burgess. The Multnomah County sheriff’s office started receiving reports about 4:20 a.m. Monday of the tractor-trailer going the wrong way on Interstate 84. Deputies pursued the truck northbound on the I-205 bridge in the southbound lanes. The truck was nearly on the Washington side when it collided with the car.

Mount Ashland expansion — The association that operates the ski area at Mount Ashland in Southern Oregon plans to do a small amount of work this year on an expansion project that has been in contention for the last decade. The Ashland Daily Tidings reported the Mount Ashland Association will describe the plans to the City Council on Tuesday. The agenda for 2013 is to widen existing runs by cutting trees, add about 100 parking spaces and make a beginners’ run less steep. The association estimates the cost of the work at about $250,000. The U.S. Forest Service has approved a larger expansion plan, with an estimated cost of $3.5 million. It would include new runs, chairlifts, buildings and a snow tubing facility. Environmentalists have gone to court to challenge that plan. — From wire reports
