An adult and child received non-life threatening injuries Friday morning after the driver had a medical emergency on Interstate 84 causing him to lose control, crash into two semi-trailers in a rest area and roll several times.
According to Oregon State Police (OSP) Trooper Jerrad Little, on July 9, 2010 at approximately 8:30 a.m. a 2000 Dodge Caravan driven by TIMOTHY J. ROBERTS, age 33, from Kennewick, Washington was eastbound on Interstate 84 near milepost 161 when ROBERTS had a medical emergency and lost control. The van swerved into the Boardman Rest Area and crashed into two parked commercial trailers, then rolled several times before coming to a stop on its wheels.
ROBERTS and passenger HUNTER COLE, age 8, from Kennewick, were transported by ambulance to Good Shepherd Medical Center in Hermiston with non-life threatening injuries. Both were using safety restraints which helped prevent more serious injuries.
OSP troopers from the Hermiston work site are continuing the investigation. Morrow County Sheriff's Office and Boardman Fire Department assisted at the scene.
