MULTNOMAH COUNTY, Ore. 13 Feb. 2025 -- On Thursday, February 13, 2025, at 10:45 a.m. Oregon State Police (OSP) responded with local law enforcement and first responders to multiple crashes on Interstate 84 (I-84) westbound near milepost 35 about three miles west of Multnomah Falls.

Preliminary reports indicate numerous factors, such as icy and slick roads, limited visibility, and near-white-out conditions, contributed to the crashes. Oregon State Troopers responded to eight separate crashes, and four individuals were transported to local hospitals with minor injuries. Local law enforcement also responded to an unknown number of crashes. The total number of vehicles involved is not known at this time.
