A Riddle teenager died Friday evening in a single vehicle crash.

Lieutenant Brad O’Dell of the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office said at approximately 10:30 p.m. dispatchers received a report of the wreck in the 15000 block of North Myrtle Road in the Myrtle Creek area.

O’Dell said deputies arrived on the scene to find a sedan which had been traveling westbound at a high rate of speed in poor weather conditions. The driver, 17-year-old Brooke Leeann Dubuc of Myrtle Creek, lost control of the vehicle which rolled several times before striking a tree. A passenger, 17-year-old Jonathan Wylie Rosenstiel, was ejected from the vehicle and trapped under the car when it came to rest. Rosenstiel was pronounced deceased at the scene by medical personnel. A second passenger, 19-year-old Avorie Dunsmore of Canyonville, was able to self-extricate from the sedan. Both Dubuc and Dunsmore were transported to CHI Mercy Medical Center by ambulance.

O’Dell said the investigation is ongoing at this time. Anyone with information related to the actions of the individuals involved prior to the crash is asked to contact DCSO at 440-4471.

DCSO was assisted by the Myrtle Creek Police Department, Douglas County District Attorney’s Office, Umpqua Valley Ambulance and the Myrtle Creek Fire Department.
