A head-on crash in Roseburg killed two people and sent another three to hospitals.

The Douglas County Sheriff's Office says a pickup driven by a 25-year-old Kyle Augustine was heading east on Melrose Road late Monday when it crossed into the westbound lane and collided head-on with an Oldsmobile driven by James Rammage.

Both vehicles went into a ditch. Rammage and his wife Diane died at the scene. Both Roseburg residents were 63.
