One person was killed and two others were transported to Portland-area hospitals in critical condition after a crash on Highway 30 last evening south of Scappoose.

Just after 6:20 p.m. last night, the Oregon Department of Transportation reported that the crash had closed all eastbound lanes and one westbound lane near milepost 18, just south of the Multnomah and Columbia County line.

The Scappoose Police Department posted that they were on scene with the Oregon State Police for a “serious injury head-on collision.” The Scappoose Fire District confirmed the fatality and two injuries. They also posted a picture showing a red car and a gray SUV, both with serious front-end damage.

The identities of those involved are not known at this time. The cause and nature of the crash are under investigation.
