Imagine that, ice on OCI Hill

Friday evening about 8:00 pm I notice that my car parked outside in South Salem had iced over and at 9:00 pm the wet pavement in the area had begun to glaze.

The next morning at 8:00 am Marion County 911 Center starts receiving reports of single vehicle (roll-over) accident(s) on Hwy 22 east, at mile post four on what is better known as OCI (Oregon Correctional Institute) Hill.

By 9:00 am the crew ODOT had called in (on overtime) for duty to help with De-icing the Hwy 22 E road surface, then left the Salem yards and was then headed off to help with the individual MVAs, then numbering six.

9:30 am the road surface was declared passable.

Imagine that, ice on OCI Hill with over-night temps about 30-33 degrees and showers in the forecast.

Boy Scouts they ain't!
