I-5 re-opens south of Eugene

A crash involving six vehicles closed Interstate 5 south of Eugene for several hours Tuesday morning.

Oregon State Police say the crash was reported at 8 a.m. on I-5 southbound near milepost 186.

Police said two vehicles crossed into the northbound lane at the emergency turnaround and hit a dump truck. Then three more vehicles were involved in a secondary crash, OSP said. There was one confirmed fatality and one serious injury.

A detour was set up on Highway 99 but traffic was backed up for miles and delays were up to two hours.
