SALEM, Ore. (AP) — Two men were killed and a third was injured in a highway crash south of Salem.

A Ford van carrying three men drifted into the right shoulder of Interstate Highway 5, over-corrected and rolled into traffic lanes Saturday morning.

The Oregon State Patrol reports the van came to rest on its top in the highway median. No other cars were struck.

The 18-year-old driver was killed. Police are not releasing his name until they have notified his family.

Also killed in the crash was 19-year-old Erik Vallejo, of Woodburn.
