Both eastbound and westbound lanes of Interstate 84 in northeastern Oregon are shut down due to a crash involving hazardous materials.

The crash occurred at milepost 233 near Meacham, the Oregon State Police said.

The eastbound freeway is closed at Exit 216, six miles east of Pendleton. The westbound freeway is closed at Exit 302, in Baker City, due to no room left for trucks to park in La Grande, according to an OSP news release.

“Icy conditions are present along the freeway between La Grande and Pendleton resulting in additional crashes in the area. The hazardous material spill occurred along the eastbound lanes, but the westbound lanes are also impacted due to material spill,” the release said.

HAZMAT response crews will advise when the freeway is re-opened.
