PORTLAND, Ore. — The Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office has identified a semi-truck driver nearly a day after releasing video footage of a rollover hit-and-run crash along the Interstate 84 corridor in the Columbia River Gorge.
The crash happened around 9 p.m. Monday, May 18, in the eastbound lanes about a half-mile west of the Dalton Point Recreation Site.
Video released Wednesday of the crash shows the driver of a blue or purple semi-truck and trailer swerving into the right lane and colliding with a commercial water truck.
The water truck then veered off the roadway and rolled into a wooded area along I-84.
On Thursday, officials identified the driver and said he is “being cooperative” with the crash investigation.
Authorities said the case remains open, and no citations had been issued as of Thursday.
If you have any helpful information or dashcam video, investigators want to hear from you at 503-988-0560 or email [email protected].
