Lumber spill
blocks I-84
Photo courtesy of OSP.
The wreck above blocked I-84 near La Grande for
hours.
On May 29, 2014, at about 7:26AM, OSP Troopers
responded to the report of a rollover crash on I-84 near
Milepost 259 involving a commercial motor vehicle
loaded with lumber.
Preliminary information is that a 1999 Western Star
Tractor pulling two fl atbed trailers loaded with lumber
was traveling eastbound on I-84 when it began to negoti-
ate a sweeping left curve. The operator, Dennis McMur-
ray, age 54, of Troutdale, lost control of the vehicle,
which resulted on it rolling over onto its driver side and
sliding on the roadway for approximately 500 feet before
coming to a stop. The load of lumber spilled across all
lanes of travel.
The interstate was closed for hours in order to remove
the wreckage and the lumber and to inspect a bridge sup-
port that was struck. ODOT created an eastbound detour
during this time. OSP was assisted by the Union County
Sheriff's Offi ce and the Oregon Department of Transpor-
tation.
