**Correction and Update**
The fire engine that rolled over was incorrectly identified in the previous release. The engine that rolled over was from the Idanha-Detriot Fire Protection District. The driver was uninjured as a result of the crash.
The updated information is that the fuel tank was loaded with over 11,000 gallons of fuel. It is unclear how much of the fuel that spilled was burned or was lost into the ground or river. DEQ is on scene and coordinating the containment and cleanup with ODOT. The roadway was damaged in the crash and there still is no estimate for reopening. Additional daytime photos were added to the release.
**End of update**
On Friday, December 15th at approximately 11:00PM, Oregon State Police responded to the report of a crash on Highway 22E near milepost 64 involving a 2001 Kenworth Central Petro fuel truck. Preliminary investigation revealed the vehicle lost traction on the icy road and rolled over coming to a stop blocking the highway. The fuel tank ruptured and caught fire, spreading to nearby brush. A Idanha-Detriot Fire Protection District fire engine that was responding to the scene also lost control on the icy road and rolled onto its side. There were additional collisions in the area that resulted in no injuries. The driver of the fuel truck was identified as 58 year old, Ronald Edward SCURLOCK from Bend. He was pronounced deceased at the scene.
This is an ongoing investigation and we have no additional information at this time. Highway 22E remains closed and travelers are urged to use alternate routes. OSP was assisted by the Marion County Sheriff's Office, Idanha Fire Department, Gates Fire Department, Salem Regional HazMat and ODOT. www.tripcheck.com
