SISKIYOU SUMMIT, Ore. -- Hazardous driving conditions Tuesday as snow levels drop to pass level. Police reported several accidents up and down the I-5 since the storm arrived Tuesday morning.
The rain and snow made for dangerous driving conditions over the Siskiyou Summit pass.
Cars slid off to the side, Oregon State Police was busy getting them back on the road safely and tow trucks turned one vehicle right-side up after the tires slipped on the icy road and rolled-over a couple of times landing on the roof.
The driver said she may have injured her collar bone and the dog that was with her got a couple of scrapes but she said she was more upset and worried about not being able to drive. Her truck is totaled now and she was on her way to pick up dog food and transport some thirty dogs to an adoption event this weekend.
"Adopting a lot of dogs out this weekend at the adoption event, it was going to open more spaces for other dogs that are going to be euthanized and now I don't know how I'm going to do that," Charlotte McClendon said.
She said she was driving safely and the wet weather was all to blame.
McClendon said she was only going 45 mph in the fast lane but she hit a slick spot on the road and lost traction.
