On Thursday, December 29, 2016 at approximately 1:00PM, OSP Troopers responded to the report of a single-vehicle crash westbound on I-84 near milepost 44, which is near Cascade Locks. The vehicle, a 2003 Chevy Trailblazer, had crashed into the center concrete barrier while negotiating a curve, crossed both lanes of the interstate and crashed through the guardrail and down a wooded ravine. The force of the crash caused significant guardrail damage and sheared a large tree off at the base where it came to rest on top of the Trailblazer, which came to an uncontrolled stop on the driver's side facing eastbound.

After a serious crash, several steps need to be taken, including dealing with the insurance companies, tracking and documenting lost income from missed work, coordinating medical bill payments, and handling an insurance claim.
