Ontario, OR : Nampa woman injured in a motorcycle crash on Interstate 84 in Baker County on Wednesday, September 21, 2016

A Nampa woman was flown by Life Flight today, following a motorcycle crash on Interstate 84.

At about 10:45 a.m., Oregon State Police and emergency personnel responded to the report of a single motorcycle crash on near milepost 343 on I-84, according to a news release from the agency.

“Preliminary investigation revealed that two motorcycles were traveling west when, for unknown reasons, a yellow 2005 Harley Davidson XL Sportster, operated by Donna M Gray, 44, of Nampa, lost control and overturned on the roadway, injuring Gray,” the release states.

The second motorcycle was able to avoid the collision, and came to a controlled stop, according to state police.

Police say Gray sustained serious injuries and was flown by Life Flight to Saint Alphonsus Regional Medical Center in Boise, Idaho. The cause of the crash is still under investigation.

State police troopers from both Baker City and Ontario were assisted by the Huntington Rural Fire Department and the Oregon Department of Transportation.

The interstate was closed in both westbound lanes for approximately a half an hour to 45 minutes, according to state police spokesman Sergeant Kyle L. Hove. After that, the roadway was closed in one lane until approximately 12:30 p.m., when both lanes of travel were open.

The cause of the accident is still under investigation.
