KEIZER, Ore. (AP) - A Keizer high school student is in critical condition after a crash on Friday afternoon.

The Keizer Police Department says the crash happened right after McNary High School was let out, at about 2:30 p.m. Investigators say two cars, both driven by students, collided head on.

Authorities say one of the drivers, 16-year-old Austin Verboort, is in critical condition at Salem Memorial Hospital.

Verboort’s passenger, Trevor Guzman, and the driver of the other vehicle, Christopher Gibson, have been released from the hospital. Both teens are also 16.

The cause of the crash remains under investigation.
