NEWBERG, Ore. (AP) — A boat ran over two people, injuring one critically, as they were tubing on the Willamette River in Newberg Monday afternoon, the Yamhill County Sheriff’s Office said.

Authorities responded to the Rogers Landing boat ramp and learned the boat operator struck the two young men while towing them in the water, KOIN-TV reported.

One of them had life-threatening injuries and was taken to a hospital by helicopter. The other male was taken to Legacy Immanuel hospital in Portland with less severe injuries.

The sheriff’s office said the boat operator showed no signs of impairment. An investigation is ongoing.
