Five rescued from van trapped in heavy snow

Five snowbound people who spoke only Cambodian were rescued in southern Oregon during a winter storm as they gathered evergreens to sell for floral arrangements.

The Douglas County sheriff's office says the five were trapped in their van, but one man managed to hike out to find cell phone service near Elkton.

More snow is headed for Oregon. Heavy snow warnings were posted for the Siskiyous, with accumulations of up to 8 inches.

Up to 12 inches is possible above 4,000 feet in much of central and northeastern Oregon, and drivers may find visibility low.
