MOUNT ANGEL, Ore. (AP) — Two boys are dead and their father and three other people are injured following a two-car crash at a rural intersection east of Mount Angel.

The Marion County Sheriff’s department says the accident occurred shortly after 11 a.m. Saturday.

The car carrying a 9-year-old boy and a 12-year-old boy driven by their father, all from Mount Angel, was struck broadside.

The department says the boys died at the scene and their father was hospitalized, but his condition wasn’t released.

A married couple from Silverton and their 9-year-old granddaughter in the other vehicle sustained injuries not believed to be life-threatening.

The department says roads were dry, but did not provide any crash details. No names were released.
