Oregon State Police said in a news release that multiple agencies responded to a report of a man washed off shore at Rocky Creek Scenic View Point Friday morning. Police say Kelly Bennett Smith from Athens, Georgia, was visiting the coast for the first time with friends after finishing a job in Corvallis, Oregon. Officials say Smith and a friend climbed beyond the viewpoint onto rocks to take photos when a wave approached and struck them from behind. Police say Smith was pulled by the current into rough seas. Friends and responders had spotted him but he has since disappeared, officials said.
