A 56-year-old Portland woman and a teenager were killed early Sunday in a two-vehicle crash on Interstate 5 through Albay near the junction with U.S. Route 20, according to the Oregon State Police. A preliminary investigation determined the northbound driver of an Infinity QX5 rear-ended a Nissan Rouge at about 3:17 a.m., causing the Infinity to leave the freeway and strike several trees, OSP said. The driver of the Infinity was taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. Two passengers in the Infinity, Kimberly Ritter of Portland and the teenager, were declared dead at the scene.
