21-year-old motorcyclist killed in I-5 crash near Columbia Blvd; speed and lane-splitting cited

A 21-year-old Battle Ground, Washington, motorcyclist Shea V. Heintz died in a crash on northbound I-5 at North Columbia Boulevard during heavy traffic. Investigators say the rider lane-splitted at speeds significantly faster than surrounding traffic, and collided with a sedan before hitting a tractor-trailer; speed and unlawful passing are believed factors. Northbound I-5 was closed between North Lombard Street and North Columbia Boulevard for a Major Crash Team investigation. The involved driver stayed at the scene and cooperated; no arrests or citations have been issued. Police urge anyone with information to submit tips (case No. 26-177125).

All southbound lanes on Interstate 5 in Portland will be closed for emergency repairs due to a failed bridge joint, diverting traffic to Interstate 405 and the Fremont Bridge. The joint, located on a stretch of the freeway over Greeley Boulevard, has caused concrete to crack and drop onto the ground, creating a large pothole.

"Oregon Winter Storm Causes Widespread Road Closures and Travel Delays"

Drivers were stuck for hours on Interstate 5 south of Eugene due to winter weather causing icy conditions, leading to crashes and traffic blockages. The Oregon Department of Transportation required chains on sections of the highway, but many vehicles without chains spun out, exacerbating the gridlock. The severity of the storm hampered driving conditions, and an increased number of commercial vehicles not using chains contributed to the situation. Oregon State Police have begun issuing citations for drivers not using chains in required areas, and officials urged people to stay off the roads due to expected icy conditions.
