I-5 Southbound On-ramp 263 CLOSED due to semi truck accident. (Photo) - 08/20/19

Tonight at 6:46 PM Marion County Fire District # 1 units were dispatched to a motor vehicle crash on Interstate 5, mile post 263 (I-5 and Brooklake Road) on the southbound on-ramp. MCFD#1 units arrived to find a semi-truck hauling straw on its side blocking the on-ramp and leaking diesel fuel. Fortunately, the operator of the truck was wearing his safety belt, was un-injured and was able to exit the truck on his own.  MCFD#1 coordinated with Oregon State Police (OSP) and Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) to close the on-ramp and to plug and contain the diesel leak. ODOT will remain on scene and estimates the on-ramp will be closed for 6-8 hours until the semi is removed and the spilled diesel is cleaned up.

MCFD#1 responded to the incident with 1 brush unit, 1 medic unit and 1 battalion chief.
