BEND, Ore.– Two crashes on U.S. Highway 97 caused traffic delays as travelers began the busy holiday weekend Friday.
One crash in Bend, at the intersection of the McKenzie–Bend Highway (U.S. 20), closed all southbound lanes. Drivers were detoured at Exit 136 while emergency crews cleared the scene.
Another crash just north of La Pine near Drafter Road reduced northbound lanes to a single lane, contributing to congestion in the area.
Both crashes have since been cleared, and traffic has returned to normal.
Travelers are reminded to stay alert, plan ahead amid increased holiday traffic, and check TripCheck.com for the latest road conditions.
