The Ford went into the eastbound lane and struck a Honda Accord, which hit a Toyota SUV.
A multi-vehicle crash that involved a fatality closed both lanes of Highway 20 near Santiam Summit Sunday afternoon.
The crash was reported just after 1 p.m. at milepost 81. At least one person died and multiple people were injured in the crash.
