La PINE, Ore. (KTVZ) – A 78-year-old La Pine woman was killed Tuesday when her SUV crossed the center line of Huntington Road and collided head-on with a semi-truck, Deschutes County sheriff’s deputies said Wednesday.

The sheriff’s received word around 11:15 a.m. Tuesday of the crash on Huntington Road near Prairie Drive, north of La Pine, Sergeant Jayson Janes said.
