Here is the LINK to our coverage of the ongoing incident.
Arriving ODOT incident responders grabbed their tow chains when arriving at a crashed semi trailer blocking both northbound lanes of Interstate 5 this morning. Those chains attached to their one-ton pick-ups worked together and dragged the trailer across the asphalt enough to get waiting traffic moving ahead.
The northbound commercial truck crashed coming down the Stage Pass Summit about 10:30 this morning. By 11:40 crews had pulled the trailer over to the slow lane to get traffic moving ahead.
Tow and salvage crews are still on scene removing the cargo and preparing to tow the tractor and trailer. ODOT crews from Grants Pass and Roseburg assisted, along with OSP and Glendale Fire.
No additional information was released by authorities at this time.
