Rollover Closes I-84 Lanes For 90 Minutes

POSTED: 12:02 pm PDT October 28, 2008
UPDATED: 12:12 pm PDT October 28, 2008

Two men setting off on a hunting trip were unhurt when their pickup and travel trailer flipped on Interstate 84, closing the eastbound lanes for more than an hour Monday afternoon, police said.

Officers said the driver, Terry Spink, 51, wasn't paying attention when he entered a construction zone on Interstate 84 at about 4:30 p.m. and was attempting to pass someone when the two eastbound lanes narrowed to one.

Spink tried to slow to merge into the single lane when his travel trailer began to fishtail and flipped sideways, Oregon State Police Lt. Gregg Hastings said.

The truck followed the trailer in flipping and the truck and trailer came to a rest blocking the eastbound lanes with the travel trailer destroyed and the truck high-centered on the concrete median, Hastings said.

Terry Spink and his passenger Ronald Spink, 54, were both wearing their seat belts and were uninjured, Hastings said.

A detour was set up around the scene of the crash and the lanes were reopened by 5:30 p.m., Hastings said.
