Scappoose

I didn't know this at the time, but the forest is actually one of the largest urban forests in the country.

It stretches for about eight miles all the way from Portland to Scappoose.

And it's kind of what you'd think of when you Picture a Pacific Northwest forest.

There's big fir trees and maples and ferns and moss-covered rocks.

November 3rd.

The Oregon State Police have posted further details on that fatal crash Monday night on Highway 30 near Scappoose.

The two-vehicle collision occurred just after 6 p.m. right across the Columbia and Multnomah County line near milepost 18.

The State Patrol says a preliminary investigation indicated that a green Subaru Outback driven by 48-year-old Christopher Madison of Columbia City was going westbound on Highway 30 when, for reasons unclear, he crossed into the eastbound lanes and struck a red Volkswagen Bug operated by 57-year-old Rachel Mitchell head-on.

Emergency crews are on the scene.

Again, Highway 30, a couple of miles to the west of I'm sorry, to the east of Scappoose, prior to where you get up into Scappoose on Highway 30.

I-5 northbound, just some delays up through Delta Park towards the Interstate Bridge.

I-84 looks pretty good headed out to the east side of town.

Michael Convery is in the traffic center with an update for you, including that crash on Highway 30.

Yeah, it's an accident that occurred about 15, well, 20 minutes ago on Highway 30 right near Watson Road.

That's a couple of miles to the east of Scappoose up on Highway 30.

This is a nasty accident, though.

Yeah, he's, he's a wonderful guy.

I think he'll do some fly trips, but he lives in Scappoose now, so he's like, you know, he's like five minutes from where his boat's in the water.

It could be an actual gig for him that, you know, you're not driving to the coast or to the shoots constantly.

You know, it's pretty-

I drive out to, like, Scappoose and St. Helens and then-

Mm-hmm

... work my way back.
