A student-athlete and an Oregon college softball coach were killed in a collision involving their team’s bus and a pickup truck.

According to Oregon State Police, the fatal incident occurred around 9:56 p.m. local time on Friday, April 18, while Jami Lea Strinz was driving a Chevrolet Express bus with ten members of the Umpqua Community College softball team on board on Highway 42, near milepost 23 in Coos County.

Strinz, 46, died in the hospital from “critical injuries” sustained in the truck collision. Kiley Nevaeh Jones, 19, a freshman from Nampa who played first base, died on the scene.

The remaining eight passengers were treated for “moderate to serious injuries,” according to authorities. Their identities have not yet been revealed.

“We are deeply saddened to confirm that one of our student-athletes, Kiley Jones, and one of our coaches, Jami Strinz, lost their lives in the accident,” UCC President Dr. Rachel Pokrandt stated in a statement. “Additional staff and students remain in hospitals in Eugene and Portland.”

“UCC hearts are breaking with this news, and we ask the community to keep the families and all of those affected in their thoughts and prayers,” said to Dr. Pokrandt. “These individuals were cherished members of our campus—an exceptional student-athlete, and a passionate and talented coach.”
