Oregon State Police say the driver of a commercial truck has been killed in an accident on icy Interstate 84 in eastern Oregon near the Idaho border. Lt. Josh Brooks says preliminary investigation indicates the driver of a truck-trailer rig lost control of the westbound vehicle on a curve late Monday afternoon, then slid off the road into the median, went over an embankment and into a guardrail. The driver was not immediately identified pending notification of relatives. Brooks says two other vehicles collided with the trailer. Their occupants were taken to a Baker City hospital but no major injuries were reported. State police say the crash blocked the freeway for several hours. source : State Police: Commercial truck driver killed on icy Ore. freeway; I-84 blocked for hours
