By RACHEL LA CORTE Associated Press OLYMPIA, Wash. — Transportation ofﬁ cials in Ore- gon and Washington state have a message for the region’s driv- ers: However bad you think trafﬁ c is going to be during next week’s total solar eclipse, it’s probably going to be worse than you imagine. While just a 60-to-70 mile wide swath of central Ore- gon is within the path of total- ity next Monday, Washing- ton state and Oregon ofﬁ cials say that signiﬁ cant backups are expected throughout both states both before and after the short event ends, with poten- tially hundreds of thousands of people clogging the roadways as they try to drive home or head to airports. “This is the biggest trans- portation event that has ever hit Oregon,” said Dave Thompson, a spokesman for the Oregon Department of Transportation. The eclipse is the ﬁ rst coast- to-coast total solar eclipse in the United States since 1918, and the ﬁ rst to hit any section of the U.S. mainland since 1979. In Oregon, about a million people are expected to cluster Man cited after boat crash near Hammond By JACK HEFFERNAN The Daily Astorian A man was cited for three counts of fourth-degree assault and reckless endan- germent after allegedly col- liding his ﬁ shing boat with another vessel Saturday morning on the Columbia River near Hammond. Marlin Larsen, 74, was driving a ﬁ berglass 31-foot Bayliner Trophy up river with two other passengers — Adam Forrester, 20, and Tim- othy Forrester, 52 — just after 8:30 a.m. It then collided with an aluminum 20-foot Weld- craft, soon after that boat’s operator — Christopher McMahon, 45 — and two passengers — Bryan Maess, 47, and Roni Durham, 57 — jumped into the river to avoid the impact. McMahon and the two passengers had been troll- ing for salmon. Boaters in the area pulled them from the river as the Clatsop County Sheriff’s Ofﬁ ce and U.S. Coast Guard responded. All three were treated for minor injuries at Columbia Memo- rial Hospital. Larsen is a Roseburg res- ident who owns the Harbor- view Resort in Hammond. Prior to Saturday’s incident, he had been cited for speed- ing in Oregon eight times since 1983. The S heriff’s O fﬁ ce is still investigating the incident . in various areas in the central part of the state to watch the event. The moon ﬁ rst starts to cross the sun in Oregon shortly after 9 a.m. PDT, and totality — when the moon completely eclipses the sun — begins near Lincoln City, Oregon, at 10:15 a.m. PDT and lasts just under two minutes. Ofﬁ cials say while many eclipse enthusiasts who trav- eled to the region will stay after it ends, many will immediately take to the roads, potentially overwhelming the system. They also say those who live in Washington state or in other parts of Oregon who think they can drive to central Oregon the day of the eclipse are likely to ﬁ nd themselves stuck in traf- ﬁ c so bad they risk missing the eclipse, and also running out of gas and other essentials. Here’s what ofﬁ cials say drivers should expect — and things they should plan: ECLIPSE GATHER- INGS: Oregon ofﬁ cials say that more than 150 events are planned throughout the state, including at the state Capi- tol in Salem, wineries, and national forests. Ofﬁ cials sug- gest getting to where you need to get a few days in advance, and plan to extend your trip. Many hotels and campgrounds have been long booked, and camping in highway rest areas is not allowed. WHAT TO BRING: Make sure you have extra supplies of everything you might need for several hours in the car: water, food, medications and an emer- gency kit, as well as a full tank of gas. Ofﬁ cials also suggest bringing a paper map since cell service may be spotty and GPS unreliable. Also make sure to have proper eclipse watching glasses. EXPECTED CHOKE POINTS ON THE ROAD: Interstate 5 and Interstate 205 bridges that connect Vancou- ver, Washington, and Portland, Oregon; Interstate 82 in Ben- ton County; US 97 in Klickitat County; State Road 14 along the Columbia River Gorge; US 197 in Dallesport; State Road 433, the Lewis and Clark Bridge between Longview, Washington, and Rainier; State Road 4, Longview to Naselle; SR 401, Naselle to Dismal Nitch; and US 101, Ilwaco, Washington, to Astoria. Ofﬁ - cials warn that even areas not listed can see signiﬁ cant trafﬁ c increases. DRIVE SAFELY: If you’re driving, keep your eyes on the road. Also, don’t drive with your eclipse glasses on, they’re too dark. The emer- gency shoulder is for emergen- cies only: No pulling over to watch the eclipse.
