A section of Highway 99 South, south of Roseburg, is closed as of 9:30 a.m. due to a fatal accident.

Lieutenant Brad O’Dell of the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office said the wreck took place between the Shady Oaks Motel and Interstate 5. The Interstate Five northbound off-ramp at the milepost 120 interchange is closed as is the highway between the motel and the southbound freeway on-ramp at that interchange. O’Dell said the closure will likely be in place for several hours.

More information on the accident is expected later in the day.
