One lane northbound is now open following a multi-vehicle crash involving 26 motorcycles and two passenger vehicles northbound Interstate 5 near the Baldock Rest Area south of Wilsonville. Two motorcyclists taken by LifeFlight with critical injuries and eight others transported by ground ambulance to area hospitals.
Preliminary information indicates on September 18, 2009 at approximately 2:45 p.m. a group of at least 26 motorcyclists were northbound in the left lane on Interstate 5 near milepost 22 following a passenger vehicle when traffic ahead began slowing. The car and motorcyclists all tried to slow but collided with one another. A vehicle in the middle northbound lane was reportedly struck by one of the motorcycles.
All northbound lanes were closed until about 4:00 p.m. Traffic is reported slow but getting through in one lane. Southbound lanes are open but also very slow.
Traffic updates will be available on ODOT's website www.tripcheck.com and travelers can call ODOT's travel information lane 5-1-1.
No more information for release.
