Trooper warns drivers to slow down on slick roads
By PHIL WRIGHT
Staff Writer
Icy conditions Friday
morning on state roads near
Hermiston contributed to
toppling a snow plow and a
crash that injured two people.
Oregon
State
Police
trooper John Lombardi said
the Oregon Department of
Transportation plow crashed
around 7:30 a.m. when it hit a
patch of ice on the eastbound
side of Interstate 84 near
milepost 175. The driver lost
control, Lombardi said, and
the large vehicle rolled to one
side, slid to the median and
rolled onto its top.
The plow was heavy, he
said, with a large snow blade
on the front and hauling a full
load of gravel. The driver,
though, got out and was un-
injured. State road workers
removed the plow by noon
or so.
In a separate crash, two
Utah residents were injured
in a crash at 9:28 a.m. on the
westbound side of Interstate
82 near mile post 6.
Lombardi said a commer-
cial tow truck was parked
there from the night before
when a Toyota Highlander
slammed into the rear of the
truck. Ambulances took the
victims to Good Shepherd
Medical Center, Hermiston.
Wintry roads contributed
to the crash.
“Please,” Lombardi urged
drivers, “slow down during
these kinds of road condi-
tions.”
Slush and ice on I-84 near
Pendleton also played a part
in two semi crashes.
Senior trooper Dan Chich-
ester said one big rig was
westbound when it wiped out
near milepost 197, crossed
the median and didn’t stop
until it was on the eastbound
side. The other semi wrecked
near milepost 192, also west-
bound, and the driver went to
the hospital.
Chichester also said the
calls for emergency services
let up when the state shut
down long sections I-84 in
Eastern Oregon due to the
dangerous driving conditions.
