| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | A late season snow storm moved across eastern Oregon causing treacherous driving conditions. There were more than 60 traffic accident calls received at Deschutes County's 911 dispatch center in just two hours. Several of the call accidents involved multiple cars, but no serious injuries were reported. Some of the snowfall reports in Central and North Central Oregon included: 7 inches in Madras, 4 1/2 inches in Bend, 4 inches in Tumalo, 3 inches at Prineville Reservoir, 2 inches near Redmond and in Condon. Lighter snowfall amounts in Northeast Oregon still caused traffic problems. Several minor traffic accidents were reported on I-84 between Meacham and La Grande. A van travelling on I-84 near Ladd Canyon, east of La Grande, overturned and killed one of the passengers. Other passengers in the van were treated for minor injuries at a hospital in La Grande. |
