CORVALLIS, Ore. (AP) - The Benton County Sheriff's Office says there were only minor injuries when a rented helicopter crashed near the towers on Marys Peak.

A woman reported the crash Monday night, telling the dispatcher her son had seen two people walk away from the wreckage to a nearby campground for help.

The two men involved in the helicopter crash on Marys Peak are Rory Kirkendall, 22, of Hillsboro, Ore., and Paul Oldenburg, 24, of Portland, Ore.

The helicopter is a rental from Hillsboro Aviation Inc. and was coming from Troutdale.
