MOLALLA, OR (KPTV) -

Two brothers were hurt Tuesday night in a car crash along Highway 213 north of Molalla.

Oregon State Police were called to the area of southbound Highway 213 near milepost 10 around 8:30 p.m.

Troopers said 66-year-old Ronald Drennan lost control of the car and it ran off the roadway before rolling several times.

His injuries were non-life-threatening and an ambulance took him to Oregon Health & Sciences University.

His passenger and brother, 59-year-old Roger Drennan, had to be taken by LifeFlight to Legacy Emanuel after being seriously hurt.

Doctors said he is in critical condition.

According to troopers, neither brother had his seat belt on right before the crash.

They said speed and alcohol use may also have played a role in the incident.

An investigation is ongoing.
