Tuesday afternoon, a commercial truck was passing a plow on I-84 near Pendleton when it caused a crash
Oregon State Police say a snow plow was traveling eastbound in the fast lane, in the act of plowing, when a 1999 Freightliner-commercial motor vehicle operated by Bryon Kilmer, age 38, of Sweet Home Oregon attempted to pass the snow plow on the right.
While attempting to pass, the commercial motor vehicle struck the snow plow on the passenger side plow wing causing the snow plow to enter the center median and roll onto its side.
Both involved vehicles suffered damage and had to be towed from the scene.
No injuries were reported in the crash.
The operator of the commercial motor vehicle was cited for Unsafe Passing on the Right. The Oregon State Police and Oregon Department of Transportation remind drivers that it is unlawful to pass snowplows on the right while they are in the act of plowing.
