WARRENTON, Ore. (AP) — Oregon State Police has identified the two people killed when their car collided head-on with a dump truck on U.S. 101 on the north Oregon coast near Warrenton on Friday.

Police say 77-year-old Harry Lee Randall and his 82-year-old sister Doris Wilcox of Tillamook were the people killed in the crash. The dump truck driver suffered non-life-threatening injuries.

The Oregonian reports that the crash initially caused Randall’s car to catch fire, but a passing motorist put out the flames. Randall and Wilcox were pronounced dead at the scene.
