Molalla, OR : Man critically injured after two-vehicle crash northwest of Molalla on Monday afternoon, July 27, 2015

A Molalla man remained in critical condition Tuesday after a two-vehicle crash northwest of Molalla drove a length of irrigation pipe through his windshield and into his face.

Andrew Stephen Koerner, 26, is in the intensive-care unit at Portland's OHSU Hospital, where he was rushed by helicopter ambulance Monday afternoon.

A young child, whose name and condition are not available, was riding in the backseat when the car Koerner was driving crashed into a truck. The child was taken by ambulance to Providence Willamette Falls Medical Center in Oregon City.

Sgt.

The truck driver was not hurt.

A Molalla Fire District crew administered first aid at the scene.
