I-5 reopens at Wilsonville after multi-vehicle crash injures 6

(Update: Two northbound lanes of freeway reopen)

PORTLAND, Ore. (KTVZ) — A multi-vehicle crash Thursday morning that included a jack-knifed tractor and trailer closed all northbound lanes of Interstate 5 in the Wilsonville area, south of Portland, for much of the morning.

The closure between Southwest Wilsonville Road and Elligsen Road caused traffic to quickly back up to Donald. Southbound traffic remained open but backed up to the I-205 overpass, KGW reported. The two left northbound lanes had reopened by late Thursday morning.

The Oregon Department of Transportation said the truck was driving south when it crossed into the northbound lanes, causing numerous crashes and injuries.

The crash involved four vehicles. Six people were taken to the hospital.

A detour was in place at Wilsonville Road to Stafford Road or Southwest Parkway Avenue.
