Lebanon, OR : Two adults died and child seriously injured in a head-on crash in Highway 34 Goltra Road on Thursday December 4 2015.
Two adults died and a child was seriously injured in a head-on crash about 7 p.m. Thursday on Highway 34 just west of Lebanon near Goltra Road.

The Lebanon Fire District said the wreck involved two mid-sized cars about a quarter-mile west of the highway's intersection with Goltra.
According to the Oregon State Police, an aqua-colored, 1994 Chevrolet Camaro, driver's name withheld, was traveling west on Highway 34 at milepost 12 when it crossed the centerline and collided with an eastbound, blue, 2000 Chevrolet Impala.
The driver of the Camaro was pronounced dead at the scene. A 7-year-old boy, who was a passenger in the car, was transported to Good Samaritan Regional Medical Center in Corvallis with serious injuries.
He was later taken to Doernbecher Children's Hospital in Portland via air ambulance for further treatment. The driver of the Impala was also transported to Good Samaritan, where the person was pronounced dead.
