HARRISBURG, Ore. — Authorities in Oregon say three people have been taken to a hospital after a monster truck went into the stands at an event.

Linn County Sheriff Tim Mueller said the driver reported losing control of his 1975 Ford pickup, with oversized tires, during a race. He then crossed a barrier before coming to a stop in the spectator area at the Harrisburg MotorSports Complex.

Sgt. Kevin Guilford said the three people who were hurt were taken to a Eugene hospital with injuries that were not life-threatening. Guilford identified the driver as Kyle Atchley.
