ONTARIO, Ore. -- State police say a truck driver died and another was injured when they were struck by a truck Tuesday while applying chains on a freeway off-ramp in eastern Oregon.

Lt. Gregg Hastings said it was snowing heavily when a truck driven by Francisco Lecaro, of Perris, Calif., hit 49-year-old Milton Belton, of Colville, Wash., and 45-year-old Miguel Victorio-Alvarez, of Nampa, Idaho, at 8:08 a.m.

Belton died at the scene and Victorio-Alvarez was taken to an Ontario hospital with injuries not considered life-threatening.

Belton and Victorio-Alvarez were stopped on the right side of a westbound Interstate 84 off-ramp.

Hastings said Lecaro left the scene and was later found by Ontario police at a truck stop.

State troopers and a collision reconstructionist are continuing the investigation.
