We have more information about that deadly car crash outside of Loyal Thursday afternoon.
The victims have been identified as Charles Bizjak, 59, of Greenwood and Brita Oldham, 22, of Willard.
The Clark County Sheriff’s Department says the accident happened at around 2:30 p.m. when a pick-up truck operated by Bizjak was traveling northbound on Pelsdorf Avenue. Authorities believe he disregarded a traffic control sign and collided with a minivan operated by Oldham, which was westbound on 26 Road.
Both drivers were ejected from their vehicles and pronounced dead at the scene.
Oldham was transporting two children, 4-year-old Chad Oldham and Coty Genteman, who was just six-days-old. Both were properly restrained and are listed in good condition at St. Joseph’s Hospital in Marshfield.
These are the sixth and seventh fatalities for Clark County in 2011.
