One Person Hurt in Three-Vehicle Crash on Interstate 5 near Sexton Summit

One person was hurt last night in a chain-reaction crash involving three vehicles on Interstate 5 on Mount Sexton.

The Oregon State Police reports troopers and emergency crews responded to the multi-vehicle mishap in the southbound lanes of I-5 near milepost 68 at 8:08 p.m. Wednesday.

Troopers said an investigation indicated a 65-year-old Talent man was driving a Honda CRV that crashed into a barricade. They said a Dodge pickup driven by a 56-year-old Cheyenne, Wyoming, man and a Toyota sedan driven by 20-year-old Seattle, Washington, man collided with the first vehicle.

According to OSP, the Talent man was transported by ambulance to Three Rivers Medical Center with non-life-threatening injuries. No one else was hurt.

The Honda and Dodge were towed to Grants Pass, but the Toyota drove away from the crash scene. It was unclear in the report if any citations were issued.
