A non-injury truck crash and subsequent fire closed the eastbound lanes and one westbound lane on Interstate 84 at the Dodson interchange Wednesday afternoon. According to Oregon State Police (OSP) Trooper Tyler Bechtel, the eastbound lanes were closed while traffic was re-routed around the scene and one westbound lane remained open.
The incident happened August 11, 2010 at approximately 3:00 p.m. when a commercial truck pulling a semi-trailer loaded with nursery stock was eastbound on Interstate 84 near milepost 34 collided into the guardrail. The unidentified driver was able to get out of the truck. Cascade Locks Fire Department responded to handle the vehicle fire.
ODOT is reportedly coordinating barrier repair, removal of the truck and clean up of fuel that spilled onto the road. Multnomah County Sheriff's Office assisted at the scene. Traffic updates may be at found at www.tripcheck.com .
