BENTON COUNTY, OR — Two people were hospitalized Wednesday afternoon after a two-vehicle wreck on Oregon Route 99W near south Corvallis, reports KOIN 6 News.
The collision occurred near Eureka Road and Bruce Road. Officials with the Benton County Sheriff’s Office responded to the scene at about 1:00 p.m.
An early investigation shows a 75-year-old McMinnville man was driving a GMC Sierra pickup truck northbound when the pickup traveled past the center line and hit a southbound Subaru Legacy head-on.
