Two Oregon City residents and a man from Happy Valley were identified as the three who died as a result of a crash Saturday in Oregon City, the Clackamas County Sheriff's Office said Monday afternoon.

Dennis Raykin, 22, of Happy Valley, Demetrius Johnson, 21, of Oregon City, and Kayla Kuntz, 28, of Oregon City died as a result of the two-car crash, authorities said.

Raykin was driving the car carrying Johnson and Kuntz along with Lydia Tobler-Davis, 21, of Milwaukie. Tobler-Davis suffered injuries that initially appeared to be life-threatening, and she was taken by Life Flight to Legacy Emanuel Medical Center, officials said.

The other vehicle was driven by Kimberly Millican, 50, of Oregon City, who was taken to OHSU with life-threatening injuries. Millican was traveling alone.

Speed and alcohol are considered factors, spokesman Brian Jensen said Monday, without specifying who was suspected.

Officials did not provide conditions of the injured, but Tobler-Davis' aunt, Sophie Di Campalto, said her niece will likely recover.

But Di Campalto was frantic when she saw news of the crash on Facebook, she said in a phone interview Sunday with The Oregonian/OregonLive.

Finally, she reached her sister -- Tobler-Davis' mother -- at the hospital where Tobler-Davis is in a coma, likely caused by swelling inside her head.

Her head injuries don't appear to be life-threatening at this point, Di Campalto said, and a full recovery is possible. However, the full extent of her recovery likely won't be known for nine months to a year from now.

"We're all really super hopeful at this point," Di Campalto said.

Di Campalto said Tobler-Davis has other significant internal injuries, including a broken leg or hip that will require a pin to be inserted. Tobler-Davis is expected to walk again, though, within a few months.

Tobler-Davis had dinner with her mother then went out with co-workers from Gilman Park Assisted Living, a senior living community in Oregon City, when the crash happened.

"She's got a long road ahead of her regardless," Di Campalto said from her California home. "Even coming out of this is going to be pretty devastating for her."
