Truck crash closes Interstate 84

BAKER CITY — The eastbound lanes of Interstate 84 were closed for about five hours in parts of Baker and Union counties on Wednesday, Dec. 9, after a commercial truck hauling lumber crashed on a curve in the Burnt River Canyon southeast of Baker City, spilling 2-by-4s across the freeway. The eastbound lanes were initially closed at Baker City, and the closure was later extended to La Grande after truck parking areas filled in Baker City, according to Tom Strandberg, a spokesman for the Oregon Department of Transportation. The eastbound lanes reopened around midnight, Strandberg said. Oregon State Police responded to a report of a commercial truck rollover at 6:55 p.m., according to an OSP report.
