Corvallis, OR : A fatal crash near Burnt Woods on Friday, August 25, 2017

A fatal crash near Burnt Woods closed Highway 20 for more than five hours Friday.

The collision, which involved three vehicles, was reported about 12:45 p.m. and resulted in at least one fatality, according to Oregon Department of Transportation spokeswoman Angela Beers Seydel.

Oregon State Police troopers were investigating the crash, but the agency did not provide any additional information on Friday.

The highway was closed in both directions at milepost 29 until about 6 p.m.

Passenger vehicles were detoured around the crash scene via Oregon 180 between Blodgett and Eddyville, but that road can’t accommodate large trucks, Seydel said. Big rigs were forced to turn around or wait until the road was cleared.
