Investigators are still “piec- ing everything together,” said Capt. Stephanie Bigman, of the Oregon State Police. The Oregon Department of Trans- portation called the pileup of some 60 vehicles, including 20 semitrucks, “an extremely challenging situation.” Oregon State Police offered few details and provided no information on the first fatal- ity, which happened at about 8 a.m. 14 miles north of Eu- gene. Many drivers were going too fast, considering the foggy conditions, Bigman said. Driv- ers were temporarily rerouted to the northbound lanes. Traffic that had backed up behind the morning’s ini- tial crash was beginning to clear, and cars were passing through the scene when an unknown obstruction, possi- bly a tire in the road, created a minor fender-bender-like collision outside Halsey, Big- man said. OSP via AP Two people died in two separate multivehicle crashes on Interstate 5 north of Eugene on Wednesday. Oregon State Police said the crashes in the southbound lanes of the interstate involved about 60 vehicles including up to 20 semitrucks. This led a Freightliner semitruck to pull to the right and stop in the slow lane. Another Freightliner truck crashed into it and caught on fire. The driver of the second freightliner, identified as Kir- pal Singh, 63, of Yuba City, California, was killed, Oregon State Police said. Two sedans rear-ended be- hind the semitruck crash, but the drivers were not injured. The crashes each spanned more than a mile and closed the southbound lanes 16 miles north of the Beltline Highway intersection. Six of the in- volved semis were leaking flu- ids, police said. ODOT said southbound I-5 south of Albany at state High- way 34 didn’t reopen until about 2:30 a.m. LOCAL BRIEFING Bend man killed in crash on Bend Parkway A three-vehicle crash Wednesday night on the Bend Parkway killed a 37-year-old Bend resident. After getting calls about a crash involving multiple vehi- cles, the Bend Police Depart- ment and Oregon State Police responded around 9:30 p.m. They found Cody Dupont, 37, of Bend was driving a 1995 Honda Civic around 75 mph south on the parkway when he struck another vehicle traveling south operated by a 17-year-old Bend resident, Bend Police said in a news release on Thursday. Dupont lost control of his ve- hicle, crossed the median into the northbound lanes of the parkway near Reed Lane, and crashed into another vehicle driven by Gregory Canfield, 56, of Bend, police said. Dupont was killed in the crash, and Canfield, who suf- fered minor injuries, was found to be impaired and was arrested on suspicion of being under the influence of a controlled sub- stance. Canfield was taken to the Deschutes County jail. The 17-year-old driver was unin- jured. Fire damages two homes A fire damaged two homes in the 5500 block of Harvest Ave- nue early Thursday morning. There were no reported in- juries. According to Redmond Fire & Rescue, crews were dis- patched about 4:30 a.m. to the blaze. When they arrived, fire- fighters found two structures on fire and flames spreading through nearby brush and ju- nipers. Crews were able to stop the fire spreading through the brush and trees and contain the fire to the two homes, accord- ing to the fire department. As of 9:30 a.m. Thursday morning, crews remained on scene extinguishing hot spots. Redmond Fire & Rescue Redmond firefighters respond early Thursday morning to a fire that severely damaged two homes in the 5500 block of Harvest Avenue in Redmond. — Bulletin staff reports REDMOND BUREAU Mailing address ..................P.O.

Amanda Cowan/The Columbian via AP Thick smoke from the Nakia Creek Fire clogs the air, as seen from the Camas Creek Watershed near Camas, Washington, on Wednesday. A haze of smoke from several wildfires covering parts of Oregon and western Washington is expected to clear before the week’s end, but only after the region achieved a dubious distinction: Portland and Se- attle and briefly topped a list of large cities with the worst air quality in the world. Thick smoke in western Washington and Oregon to soon clear Associated Press A haze of smoke covering parts of Oregon and western Washington is expected to clear before the week’s end, but only after the region reached a dubious distinction: Portland and Seattle briefly topped a list of large cities with the worst air quality in the world. The smoke comes from sev- eral wildfires burning in Ore- gon and Washington, and sev- eral days without rain allowed it to linger and thicken. A new weather pattern was expected to hit the region Friday, ac- cording to a National Weather Service forecast, bringing multiple rounds of rain that will help scrub the air of pol- lutants. On Thursday morning, Se- attle was listed as the worst city in the world for air quality and pollution and Portland ranked third, according to IQAir, a company that gathers air quality information from around the world.
