Troopers are working to determine how the crash happened, but say traffic was already moving slow in the area due to construction.

A 13abc reporter on scene says at least one car caught fire and a semi-truck overturned in the crash. source

ODOT and law enforcement are working to divert traffic at Woodville Road to avoid further backups.

Troopers say they expect the highway to be closed for quite some time as they clean up.
