Crews are working to clear debris from a landslide that has closed part of a highway near Astoria in northwestern Oregon.
The Oregon Department of Transportation said it has removed a commercial truck that was caught in the rubble but that it still needs to be towed. The truck was the only vehicle damaged in the landslide, and no injuries were reported.
The landslide has blocked more than 100 feet of roadway and was likely triggered by rain and strong winds, the agency said in a news release Thursday. The agency’s first goal is to make the area safe enough to reopen at least one lane, according to its news release.
