ONTARIO, Oregon — A large section of Interstate-84 is closed from Ontario to Pendleton, Oregon, as winter weather has caused multiple vehicles to spin out or crash along the roadway.
Crews with the Oregon Department of Transportation have reported observing many semi trucks without chains.
A chain restriction is currently in place along I-84.
