PORTLAND, Ore. — A semi-truck spilled its load in a crash on U.S. 26, prompting all lanes to be closed just five miles west of Government Camp on Friday morning. There are no local detours and the closure is expected to last several hours, the Oregon Department of Transportation said. "The crash involves at least one semi that spilled its load, and that’s a major factor in the time it takes to reopen the highway," ODOT told KGW. The highway is closed between milepost 45 and 48.
