BROWNSVILLE, Ore. (AP) — Dozens of vehicles, including semitrailers, were involved in a deadly crash in heavy fog yesterday on I-5 in Oregon.
Oregon State Police said one person was killed in the multi-vehicle crash that happened in the southbound lanes north of Eugene.
About 60 vehicles, including up to 20 semis, were involved in the crashes that spanned more than a mile. Police say the Department of Environmental Quality responded to address leaking fluids from six of the semis.
School buses from Eugene were reportedly sent to take several dozen stranded motorists to a nearby truck stop.
