MILTON-FREEWATER, Ore. -- The State Police say three members of a Pendleton family were killed when their car collided with a pickup truck pulling a horse trailer.
The police say the crash happened when the car crossed the center line in dense, freezing fog late Wednesday afternoon on a curve of Oregon Highway 11 south of Milton-Freewater.
The victims were identified as 71-year-old Edwin Nurmi, the driver; his wife, 72-year-old Rae Nurmi; and their son, 50-year-old John Nurmi. The police say the couple wore seat belts and the son didn't.
The pickup driver was 66-year-old Ned Londo of Milton-Freewater. He had minor injuries. Troopers say he wore a seat belt, and his air bag deployed.
Troopers say a dog in the Nurmi car and a horse in the trailer died.
