A driver lost control in snow and ice Thursday morning on Oregon 6, traveling off the highway and crashing into Gales Creek in western Washington County, according to Forest Grove Fire & Rescue.
The incident occurred just before 8 a.m. and about a half mile past Northwest Timber Road, said Division Chief Dave Nemeyer, a Forest Grove fire spokesman. Only one car was involved in the wreck, Nemeyer said, and the driver suffered minor injuries.
A Metro West ambulance responding to the scene struck and killed a small deer that jumped in front of the crew on the roadway, Nemeyer said. The crash damaged the front of the ambulance, but the paramedics were not injured.
Forest Grove Fire & Rescue is warning drivers headed west toward the Coast Range to use caution because the highway is slick.
