Slick roads and whiteout conditions caused by a winter storm led to a multi-vehicle pile-up involving more than 100 cars, trucks and semi-trucks in northwest Oregon on Thursday.

The incident occurred on Interstate 84 near Multnomah Falls, which is located east of Portland.

“An SUV caught fire in the pileup on I-84, that’s described by deputies as involving more than 100 cars, trucks and semi-trucks,” Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office said. “Everyone was able to get out of the SUV. Responders are going car by car. There are reports of injuries; no number at this time.”

Here’s what KOIN reported:

More than 100 cars, trucks and semi-trucks were involved in a crash on Interstate 84 early Thursday afternoon, according to the Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office.

Officials with the Oregon Department of Transportation reported that I-84 westbound is closed from Hood River at Milepost 64 to four miles west of Multnomah Falls at Milepost 27.

“Road conditions on I-84 in the affected areas are considered slick, but passable,” ODOT said. “This series of crashes was caused by a combination of high winds blowing snow and drivers traveling too fast for the winter weather conditions in the area.”
