Two people were killed and three sent to the hospital after two cars collided Saturday morning in Oregon City, according to authorities.

The crash occurred on South Redland Road near South Bradley Road just after 2 a.m., Clackamas County Fire District spokesman Steve Hoffeditz said in a news release.

When authorities arrived, two of the occupants were already dead, he said. It is unclear how many people were in each car.

Firefighters freed the other three. Two were taken to the hospital via a Lifeflight helicopter and one by ambulance, he said.

Clackamas County Sheriff's office will be investigating the crash, Hoffeditz said.

This post will be updated as news develops.
