8 firefighters from Oregon killed in wreck near Vale
The eight young Oregon men were headed home from 11 tough days battling an Idaho forest fire.

No doubt eager to get home, they died, authorities said, when they crossed a double yellow line to pass a semitrailer truck and ran head-on into another semitrailer on a stretch of remote U.S. 20 near the Idaho border.


The eight firefighters -- all younger than 23 -- died at the scene. Six were from Douglas County and two from Multnomah County.
