Oregon State Police (OSP) is continuing the investigation into Friday morning's non-injury commercial truck that partially blocked the northbound lanes of Interstate 5 at Myrtle Creek. Driver fatigue is being investigated as a contributing factor.
According to Lieutenant Doug Ladd, on July 11, 2014 at approximately 10:45 a.m., an International truck pulling a semi-trailer was traveling northbound on Interstate 5 in the right hand lane when it traveled onto the right shoulder and struck an impact attenuator at the top of exit 108. Several gallons of fuel spilled from the truck's tanks but were contained with barriers and absorbent materials placed by Myrtle Creek Fire Department firefighters.
The truck's driver, STANLEY DIGGS, age 58, from Jefferson, was not injured.
OSP troopers from the Roseburg Area Command office are investigating the crash. OSP was assisted at the scene by Myrtle Creek Police Department, Myrtle Creek Fire Department, and ODOT.
One northbound lane and the shoulder are still blocked. Traffic updates at TripCheck.com.
