BEND, Ore. (KTVZ) - A crash reportedly involving four vehicles was slowing traffic in both directions Monday afternoon on U.S. Highway 97 north of Bend.

The reportedly multi-vehicle crash was reported around 3:30 p.m. in the 64000 block of North Highway 97, near milepost 133, about two miles north of Bend.

ODOT advised on TripCheck of delays in the area and urged motorists to "prepare to slow or move over for worker safety." Backups ensued for traffic in both directions during the removal of vehicle occupants and debris.

The crash occurred as rain was falling over much of the region.
