WHITE CITY, Ore. – One person was reportedly killed in a crash at a notoriously dangerous intersection east of White City.
On Tuesday afternoon, an SUV traveling northbound on Kershaw Road went through a stop sign at the intersection of Highway 140. According to witnesses, a motorhome traveling eastbound on the highway collided with the SUV.
One person was reportedly killed in the crash.
Highway 140 was closed between Crater Lake Highway and Riley Road. Motorists were advised to use an alternate route as police investigate the crash. The highway reopened just before 5:00 p.m.
