Interstate 84 crash has traffic tied up in Oregon

Traveling on Interstate 84 was slow-going after a crash stopped eastbound traffic for about 42 miles Tuesday afternoon.

Eastbound traffic on the highway was closed from La Grande to 7 miles east of Pendleton after a truck took out more than 100 feet of guardrail in the accident.

The truck wrecked and spilled over the side of the road, and a van was knocked onto its side in the same area Tuesday, according to reports.

The Oregon Department of Transportation opened one lane, and traffic was moving slowly through the area, according to the TripCheck website.
