Event narrative (NOAA)

A single-car rollover occurred just west of Pendleton on Interstate 84 in fog and icy road conditions. All four occupants of the vehicle were injured in the rollover. As one of the victims was being loaded into an ambulance a semi-truck travelling on I-84 lost control. The truck struck a patrol car, jackknifed, hit the back end of an ambulance, and then the back tires of the truck struck and killed the victim. The other victims and an ambulance crew member were treated for minor injuries at a local hospital and released.
