ESTACADA, Ore. — Three young people died and two were injured in a crash Monday night near Estacada, the Clackamas County Sheriff's Office reported Tuesday.
The crash happened at 9:20 p.m. in the area of South Redland Road and South Springwater Road, near Milo McIver State Park.
A witness told sheriff's deputies that the driver of a black sedan appeared to lose control of the car and go into a spin. The sedan crossed the road's center line and crashed into an oncoming Ford F-350 pickup truck.
Five teens, ages 14-18, were in the black sedan. Two passengers were pronounced dead at the scene. A third passenger was flown by medical helicopter to a hospital and was later pronounced dead. The fourth passenger, a 17-year-old, is being treated for unspecified injuries at a hospital.
The sedan's 18-year-old driver, identified as Devin Kurtz, suffered a punctured lung and was treated at a hospital. Kurtz was then booked into the Clackamas County Jail on a number of charges including three counts of manslaughter and one count of DUII.
The pickup truck driver cooperated with the investigation and did not need medical treatment at the scene, deputies said.
The names of the teens who died have not been released. The sheriff's office said the teens are students in the Estacada School District. The district posted a message to the community on its Facebook page. Counselors from the school district and from around the area will be available to help other students, the message said.
A candlelight vigil honoring those who died will be held at Estacada High School at 8 p.m. on Wednesday. Members of the Facebook group Estacada Community Watch is organizing the vigil. In a post online, the group said it's hosting the vigil at the community's request and it isn't a school sponsored event.
