A Corvallis man died and four Philomath residents suffered minor injuries in a Saturday afternoon crash in Albany, the Benton County Sheriff's Office said.

Boyd Everett Taylor, 48, was driving westbound on U.S. 20 just east of Scenic Drive when he lost control of his 1999 Kia Sportage around 3:42 p.m., authorities said. He crossed broadside into the eastbound lane, where an oncoming 2011 GMC Sierra 2500 pickup collided head-on with the passenger side of Taylor's car.
