Heavy rain contributed to a wreck on Interstate 5 about two miles south of Sutherlin on Monday.

A report from Oregon State Police said at about 10:45 a.m. the driver was headed southbound and was changing lanes when he hydroplaned in the rain and went out of control. The vehicle destroyed about 150 feet of Oregon Department of Transportation wire rail and 20 posts in the median.

The driver was cited for driving while suspended and for driving uninsured. He was given a warning for driving too fast for the conditions. The driver and his passengers were not injured.
