Officers responded to the intersection around 6 p.m. Police said the driver of a white Ford Bronco, Bronc D. Shuey, 31, of Corvallis, was going west and turning onto Southwest 53rd Street when the Bronco struck a red Toyota Avalon head-on. The Avalon was traveling east.

They were taken to Good Samaritan Regional Medical Center, and police said relatives have been notified. Both vehicles were destroyed and towed from the scene.
What the Corvallis Police Investigation Involves
