Oregon State Police troopers are completing the investigation into a nine vehicle traffic crash in a Roseburg-area highway work zone on Interstate 5 Friday morning. One person was transported to a hospital with minor injuries and the northbound lanes were closed less than one hour.
Preliminary information indicates on March 12, 2010 at approximately 7:36 a.m. a 2003 Dodge Stratus driven by a 20-year old Roseburg woman was northbound on Interstate 5 near milepost 120 in heavy rain conditions when it lost control and hydroplaned.
