A Utah truck driver died New Year’s Eve in a single-vehicle crash on Interstate 84.
Oregon State Police (OSP) troopers and emergency personnel responded around 10:30 p.m. Thursday night to a report of a crash on I-84 near milepost 238.
A preliminary investigation indicated that a Freightliner CMV, operated by Chauncey Rife, 41, of Midvale, Utah, was eastbound when it left the roadway.
Investigators believe Rife possibly had a medical event before the crash. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
OSP was assisted by the the Umatilla Tribal Fire Department and the Oregon Department of Transportation.
