The condition of two people from Philomath injured Monday night when their car hit a power pole and caught fire has not changed.

Sally Vencill was still listed in critical condition at Legacy Emanuel Hospital's Burn Center, a hospital spokesman said Thursday. Her husband, Beau Vencill, who is the city of Philomath's public works director, was listed in serious condition in Legacy Emanuel's general ward.

The Vencills were involved in a collision with a power pole on Highway 99W, just south of Airport Road, a few minutes before midnight on Monday. Their vehicle caught fire with the two inside the car. The Corvallis Fire Department extracted the two and took both to Portland by ambulance.

Philomath City Manager Randy Kugler received word of the accident Tuesday morning from the Vencills' son, who said both Beau and Sally Vencill had broken bones and severe burns.

Benton County Sheriff's Office spokesman Lt. Greg Ridler said deputy David Peterson will be out of commission for a while with a broken ankle. Peterson was running toward the Vencills' vehicle, which had came to rest in a ditch, and apparently slipped.

The Oregon State Police also responded and is in charge of the accident investigation, Ridler said.
