Double-crash shuts down westbound I-84 near Rooster Rock, one seriously injured
Summary
Semi Truck Crash Secondary Oregon in secondary, Oregon: A commercial motor vehicle struck a motorist who was changing a tire on the westbound shoulder of Interstate 84 near Rooster Rock State Park on Saturday, June 20, 2026, seriously injuring that person, who was transported by Life Flight helicopter to a hospital. While Oregon State Police investigated the primary crash, two Multnomah County Sheriff's Office patrol SUVs were blocking the slow lane and were struck by a westbound motorist, who sustained a reported minor injury and was also transported to a hospital.

No deputies were injured in the secondary crash, which damaged one patrol SUV heavily (likely a total loss) and the other moderately on the rear driver's side. All westbound lanes of I-84 near milepost 24, between Tunnel Point and Rooster Rock, were closed during the response.
