THE DALLES, OREGON — Two Oregon State Police troopers and a commercial truck driver were injured Monday morning in a crash involving two commercial trucks on an Interstate 84 off-ramp in The Dalles.

The crash was reported around 7:30 a.m. at the top of the I-84 on-ramp at Exit 87 along Highway 197, just north of the interstate.

Initial reports indicate an Oregon State Police Fish & Wildlife K-9 vehicle was involved in a collision with two commercial vehicles — an unloaded log truck and a semi-truck with trailer.

Both OSP troopers and one of the commercial truck drivers were transported to medical facilities for treatment. Authorities said the K-9 and the other truck driver were not injured.

Highway 197 was closed at Bret Clodfelter Way for much of the day Monday and was expected to reopen in the evening hours.

Traffic impacts were significant. Southbound traffic from Washington into Oregon was diverted to Hood River or Biggs Junction, while northbound drivers were rerouted onto Highway 30 at Exit 85.

The City of The Dalles Police Department said the investigation remains ongoing and is asking anyone with information to call 541-296-2613 and reference case number D26-0261.
