One driver was taken to the hospital after two semi-trucks got into a wreck Monday morning.

An Oregon State Police report said just after 10:10 a.m. the accident was reported on Interstate 5 southbound about four miles south of Canyonville. One driver had slowed to approximately five to ten miles an hour in the right lane to avoid a deer in the road. The second driver was in the same lane and rear ended the first semi combo.

The second driver was transported by ambulance for what appeared to be non-life- threatening injuries. Traffic in the area was backed up for a time while the scene was cleared up.
